Why it was refused

  1. Having particular regard to the location, siting and means of access proposed, the proposals would have an adverse impact on the residential amenity and privacy of the existing adjoining occupiers of the dwellings immediately around the proposed link at Blenheim Close and Saddlers Rise, contrary to Herefordshire Core Strategy policies SS1, and SD1 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, particularly Paragraph 135(f).
  2. In the absence of full assessment of the safety of the proposed cycle link and a Road Safety Audit to ensure that all possible challenges for cyclists have been considered and deemed suitable the Local Planning Authority is unable to assess the impact of the development on highway safety. In the absence of this information, the proposals are contrary to Herefordshire Core Strategy policies SS1, SS4, SS7 and MT1 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework
  3. At present, no Section 106 Agreement is in place to secure the proposed active travel improvements to mitigate the impacts of the development. In the absence of a completed legal agreement, there is no mechanism to ensure that the improvements would be delivered. As such, the proposal fails to demonstrate that it would be supported by adequate infrastructure or that the impacts of the development would be appropriately mitigated, contrary to Policy ID1 of the Herefordshire Local Plan - Core Strategy and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
