Why it was refused

  1. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the existing vehicular access/egress point serving the site and the junction of Long Shepherds Drive with Summerland Lane will be served by adequate visibility splays following the construction of the proposed works. It has not therefore been demonstrated that the proposed works will not be to the detriment of highway and pedestrian safety, contrary to Policies PS2 and T1 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019).

From the council's decision notice.
