Why it was refused

  1. The location/design of the new entrance and gates are considered to conflict with the existing traffic calming measure (within the highway) and interfere with both pedestrian and vehicle visibility especially given the proximity of the chicane as this pushes traffic out into the northern lane of the road consequently there is insufficient evidence/information to demonstrate how the new access will safely interact on visibility for both pedestrian and vehicle visibility and is therefore considered contrary to policies Core Policies 1 (The Spatial Strategy), 3 (Delivering Sustainable Development), and 5 (Sustainable Transport) of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy (2015) ST1 (Sustainable Travel) and ST2 (Parking Provision)l, BE1 (High Quality Development) of the Lichfield Local Plan Strategy, Sustainable Development SPD, Design Code and the guidance in the NPPF

From the council's decision notice.
