Why it was refused

  1. The proposals fail to comply with the aims and objectives of policy DE1 of the Swindon Borough Local Plan 2026, the NPPF nor local or national guidance documents such as the Nationally Described Space Standards, the Swindon Residential Design Guide nor the National Design Guide by failing to consider, respect or preserve the context or characteristics of the local area, failing to consider massing, siting, orientation and scale of the area whilst also failing to observe or adhere to the materials and detailing of the area.
  2. The proposals fail to comply with the aims and objectives of policy DE1 of the Swindon Borough Local Plan 2026 and the NPPF in relation to amenity provision by causing harm to the enjoyment of existing neighbouring amenity and providing substandard provision for future occupiers.
  3. The proposed splays are considered to be inadequate to secure the visibility necessary for the safety and convenience of the traffic associated with the proposed development and other users of the public highway, contrary to the requirements of Policy TR2 of the Swindon Borough Local Plan 2026 and the NPPF.
  4. The increased use of the existing access and the generation of additional conflicting traffic movements resulting from the proposed development would be prejudicial to road safety and contrary to the requirements of Policy TR2 of the Swindon Borough Local Plan 2026.

From the council's decision notice.
