Received: 07/09/2019

Respondent: Mr John Whittle

Representation Summary:

It would appear clear that Ffordd Triban would serve as the access road to a new development. Assuming that the number of properties would be in excess of five it is a requirement that the minimum width of the road is 5.5 mts to allow reasonable separation between vehicles travelling in opposite directions. The width of Ffordd Triban is 4.8 mts thus rendering it unsuitable for access purposes. Any development would have an adverse impact on Cherry Tree Lane (feeder road) with potentially well over 100 additional daily vehicle movements negotiating the dangerous Cherry Tree Lane/Old Highway T junction.

Change suggested by respondent:

The site must be removed from the RDLP as access status cannot be approved by the Local Highways Authority.
