The information submitted with the application fails to demonstrate that the applicant complies with the Council’s rural housing policy as set out in Section 3.16.2

Traffic Sightlines

The proposed site entrance as identified on the site layout plan (Drawing No: 23-AMCL-PL-01) provides insufficient sightlines and therefore presents a danger to the applicant and other road users.

Design
