Respondent: Mrs Barbara Whittle

Representation Summary:

Ffordd Triban would appear to be the proposed access road. The width of the road not only fails to meet the requirements for access road purposes but the visibility splay where the road swings at no.11 obstructs driver vision thus reducing driver reaction time to a hazardous level. This was not an issue when the road and plots were laid out as the now established hedge did not exist. Increase traffic passing through this point will undoubtedly increase the current acceptable hazard level to a dangerous classification.

Change suggested by respondent:

Rejection of the proposed addition to the LPD on the grounds of road safety
