Why it was refused

  1. The retaining stone wall is a defining feature of this part of the lane, contributing to its rural character and creating a sense of enclosure. The proposed vehicular access and driveway, creates a visually intrusive element within this feature, appearing overly engineered and harmful to the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Policies HC8(2) and CP14(5) of the Stroud District Local Plan, November 2015 and Policy LRD1 of the Brimscombe and Thrupp Neighbourhood Development Plan.
  2. It has not been demonstrated that suitable visibility splays or pedestrian visibility splays are achievable at the site. These are necessary to ensure that a safe and suitable access for all users can be provided and the as such the proposal conflicts with Policy ES3(5) of the Stroud District Local Plan, November 2015.

From the council's decision notice.
