Why it was refused
- The block paviour materials installed on the highways verge are unacceptable in regard to highway safety, as they are deemed to impede on the maintenance and operation of mains electricity and telecom infrastructure. As confirmed by the Local Area Highway Inspector. Therefore, the proposal is not deemed to be acceptable without the removing of the affected block paviours and the restoration of the maintainable highway to its original state. As such, the proposals sit within direct conflict with Policy TRA 2 of the Northumberland Local Plan and the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
