REPORT ON APPEAL DECISIONS |
||
|
|
(a) |
E/21784/A |
Dr G Ciccognani against enforcement notice relating to the formation, layout and construction of a means of access onto a classified road at The Orchard, Undercliff Drive, St Lawrence. |
|
|
Officer Recommendation: |
Enforcement action to close the access, rebuild the wall and remove paviors and hardstanding. |
|
|
|
Committee Decision: |
Enforcement action as above - 12 August 2003 |
|
|
|
Appeal Decision: |
Dismissed – 27 April 2004 |
|
|
|
Main issues of the case as
identified by the Inspector: |
||
|
|
·
Whether the access is of inadequate standard that has
resulted in serious harm to the safety and convenience of other road users. ·
The impact of the development on the character and
appearance of the AONB. |
||
|
|
Conclusions of the
Inspector: |
||
|
|
· The road is subject to a 60 mile per hour speed limit and requires visibility distances 215 metres in each direction |
||
|
|
· Visibility is limited to 160 metres to the west and 15 metres to the east |
||
|
|
· The situation results in significant danger for an emerging driver and serious harm to the safety of approaching traffic |
||
|
|
· The problems encountered by the appellant with his neighbour in respect of his existing access do not justify the retention of the appealed access |
||
|
|
· The roadside walls are an important element of the distinctive character of this part of the AONB |
||
|
|
· The new access has resulted in the removal of a significant section of the wall |
||
|
|
· The site and the laying of modern block paviors to form a lay by has resulted in an alien feature in the generally wooded landscape |
||
|
|
· The works have seriously harmed the character and appearance of the AONB |
