Why it was refused
- Access to the application site is solely proposed via Church Lane, which is narrow, unlit, winding, lacking in forward visibility, without pavements or passing places, and which furthermore serves as a bridleway and public footpath. Creating an additional dwelling will intensify the vehicular use of a substandard lane and will increase the likelihood both of vehicles meeting in opposite directions, requiring difficult reversing manoeuvres, and of vehicles encountering pedestrians and cyclists. This increased conflict between vehicles and other road users, which may include wheelchair users, equates to an unacceptable impact on highway safety. As directed by both Policy DEV3 of the Eden Local Plan and Policy TR6 of the National Planning Policy Framework, the proposal should therefore be refused. The adverse impacts on highway safety substantially outweigh the benefits of allowing a single new dwelling, thereby overriding the presumption in favour of sustainable development set out at Policy S4 of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
