Why it was refused
- The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposed vehicular access and off-street parking can be formed and operated safely given the steeply sloping nature of the site. In particular, insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that acceptable access gradients can be achieved between the public highway and the parking spaces, that vehicles can safely manoeuvre within the site, or that safe ingress and egress can be achieved without risk to highway users. The proposal, by reason of the site’s pronounced gradient, constrained access arrangement and relationship with the adjacent highway, would be detrimental to highway safety and contrary to local and national highway safety policy. The development would therefore be non-compliant with Policy ID10 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management Policies (LPDMP) 2023.
From the council's decision notice.
