Why it was refused

  1. Holly Mount is an unadopted private road approximately 110 metres in length and is of limited width (some 4 metres at the junction with Lings Lane), is of substandard construction, has substandard street lighting and is lacking in separate pedestrian facilities and a turning area. The first section of Holly Mount is incapable of accommodating two way traffic flows (cars). The proposal, if implemented, would increase the likelihood of vehicular conflict in this location and result in reversing manoeuvres into Lings Lane where visibility is severely restricted
  2. The proposed development would be contrary to the Councils general practice of restricting the number of dwellings served by a private drive to five so as to ensure that the future maintenance of streets serving more than five dwellings is provided for by adoption by the Council RB2026/0120 (Continued) Please read the attached NOTES carefully.

From the council's decision notice.
