Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development is located on Watery Lane which is a narrow single carriageway with wide grass verges and no passing places in the vicinity of the application site. Given the absence of passing places and the increased traffic associated with the proposed development it would result in conflict between vehicles or other road users approaching from opposite directions. This would be likely to result in vehicles having to reverse along Watery Lane which would be unsafe and lead to increased risk of conflict with other road users, including pedestrians, cyclists or horse riders. The proposals would therefore be detrimental to highway safety in the locality and be contrary to Policy SP1 and Policy SP35 of the East Staffordshire Local Plan and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
