2 Highdale Road Clevedon BS21 7LW

1. 1.The proposal, by reason of the removal and alteration of the historic boundary wall and gate and the creation of a new access track, would result in harm to the significance of the Clevedon Conservation Area through the loss of historic fabric and the alteration of features that make a positive contribution to its character and appearance. Significant weight is attached to the conservation of designated heritage assets. Whilst the proposal may provide some private benefits to the occupiers of the property, no public benefits have been identified that would outweigh the identified heritage harm. The proposal would therefore fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Clevedon Conservation Area contrary to Section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Policy CS5 of the North Somerset Core Strategy (2017), Policy DM3 of the Development Management Policies Plan Part 1 (2016), and Policies HE1, HE4 and HE9 of the NPPF.
2. 2.Insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the highway safety implications of the proposed access and associated highway works have been satisfactorily addressed, particularly in relation to vehicle movements, pedestrian safety, and vulnerable road users. Furthermore, the submitted Stage 1 Road Safety Audit was not undertaken in accordance with the required audit process and therefore does not provide sufficient confidence that the identified highway safety concerns have been adequately assessed or resolved. As a result, it has not been demonstrated that the proposal would provide a safe and suitable means of access for all users, and the development would therefore result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety, APPLICATION NUMBER - 26/P/0627/FUL
