Why it was refused

  1. Highfield Drive is considered substandard with regards to its width and visibility splay onto Ashby Road (A511) and is not suitable to cater for the additional traffic likely to be generated by the proposed development, which is likely to result in conflict between vehicles and pedestrians on Highfield Drive as well as manoeuvring in the access and onto the A511 to the detriment of highway safety, the proposal is therefore considered contrary to East Staffordshire Local Plan Policies SP1 and SP35, East Staffordshire Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document, Winshill Neighbourhood Plan Policy 13 and the National Planning Policy Framework. This application is refused by the under signed under powers delegated by the Borough Council in accordance with the provisions of Section 101 of the Local Government Act 1972.

From the council's decision notice.
