Why it was refused
- In the interests of protecting road and pedestrian safety; the proposal by virtue of its inadequate visibility splay requirements for a road of this category and speed limit would result in the formation of a substandard vehicular access onto a public road that would have substandard visibility splays in both directions, and therefore, would be deemed unacceptable in the interests of road and pedestrian safety and would therefore be considered contrary to Policy 3 of the Adopted FIFEplan Local Development Plan (2017), and Policies 13 and 18 of National Planning Framework 4 (2023) and be contrary to Making Fife's Places Appendix G - Transportation Development Management Guidelines standards.
