Why it was refused

  1. The proposal has failed to demonstrate that the proposed new access would be safe and suitable and that the development would not result in a severe or unacceptable impact on highway safety, contrary to Policy SWDPR06 and SWPDR 28 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review and paragraphs 115 and 116 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
