Traffic Sightlines
Negative impact on road safety at N80 junction due to increased traffic volumes and turning movements, compounded by existing busy local business, parking difficulties, and potential lighting glare.
TII Road Safety Audit Guidelines (1 & 2)I would not recommend a grant of permission in this instance on the grounds of road safety.
