2.11 Conclusion
2.11.1 The proposal relates an amended private access road layout which includes the
removal of part of the railway embank and 6 trees and the installation of a
package sewer treatment. A similar access road has already been granted
consent and is extant.
2.11.2 The proposal is considered to be appropriate development in the Green Belt, and
the loss of the trees and embankment are considered to be acceptable and would
not result in an unacceptable impact on ecology. The replacement trees and hedge
would ensure that the proposal would not adversely affect the visual amenity of the
Locally Important Landscape Area. In addition the revised access would not result
in an unacceptable impact on the amenity of neighbouring residents and is
considered acceptable in terms of highway safety.
2.11.3 The proposal is therefore considered to be in accordance with policies of the
development plan and there are no other material considerations that are of
significant weight to warrant refusal of planning permission. Planning Permission is
therefore recommended subject to conditions.
