Why it was refused
- Policy COM7 of the East Cambridgeshire Local Plan, 2015 states that development proposals shall provide a safe and convenient access to the highway network. The proposed development fails to adequately demonstrate that the proposed signage would not conflict with visibility splays with the existing access serving the site. The potential conflict with visibility splays would lead to conflict with highway users and pedestrians. Therefore the proposal is contrary to policy COM7 and ENV2 of the East Cambridgeshire Local Plan, 2015.
From the council's decision notice.
