About this application

This is a planning application for a change of use at Castle Hill Farm Leicester Road Uppingham Rutland. Rutland has handled 4,003 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days, 7 days longer than Rutland's typical decision time. There has been 1 other application at this address. In the past year there have been 83 applications across Uppingham Ward.

Why it was refused

  1. The existing access would require widening to the northwest side, which has not been demonstrated or indicated within the latest plans or the site edged red, so it is unclear if an adequate access can be achieved. As a consequence, the manoeuvring of vehicles likely to be generated by the proposed development would have an adverse effect on the safety of users and free flow of traffic on the adjoining public highway.

From the council's decision notice.
