Why it was refused

  1. The proposed vehicular access fails to demonstrate that the required pedestrian visibility splays can be achieved and maintained free from obstruction. Consequently, the proposal would result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety and is contrary to Policy TR6(4) of the National Planning Policy Framework and Policies CS13 and MSGP15 of the Gateshead and Newcastle Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan. 4 ra J/ Lf Neil Wilkinson Acting Service Director, Climate Change, Compliance, Planning and Transport, Economy, Innovation and Growth.

From the council's decision notice.
