Why it was refused

  1. The proposal as submitted would provide an unnecessary additional vehicular access to a single property, to the detriment of highway safety and efficiency, furthermore the dropped kerb would result in parking of vehicles within an area to the front of No. 25 Shenfield Road that has a below standard off-street parking space (as per the Essex Parking Guidance 2024) leading to vehicles overhanging the footpath which in turn would be likely to lead to highway safety issues particularly for pedestrians forced to leave the footpath. This would conflict with the Brentwood Local Plan Policies BE12, BE13 and BE14, and the guidance within the Essex Parking Guidance 2024.
  2. The proposed dropped kerb would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area resulting in less than substantial harm to the significant of the conservation area. There are no public benefits that would outweigh the harm identified, contrary to the NPPF (section 16), NPPG and Policies BE14 and BE16 of the Brentwood Local Plan Brentwood Borough Council, Town Hall, Ingrave Road, Brentwood, Essex CM15 8AY

From the council's decision notice.
