Recommendation Refusal
Consultations/Representations:
Parish / Town
For the following reasons:
1. Condition 6 of planning permission S.02/826 requires improvements to
be made to the sub-standard junction of Chapel Lane and Tetbury Street.
The applicant has not submitted sufficient information to prove that these
junction improvements are not necessary and therefore, the removal of
Condition 6 would be detrimental to highway safety and contrary to Policy
G5 of the Stroud District Local Plan Revised Deposit Version (as
amended June 2001).
Support:
The proposals arose from a Planning Inspector's decision, and councillors commented that there
was no need to realign the pavement, already wide at this point, or introduce measures that
would require signage and lighting. There was a proposal already to introduce parking on the
south side of the street that would have a calming effect. The Council suggest that the junction
be left as it is, and that the Inspector has imposed an unnecessary condition upon the appellants.
County Surveyor (Initial)
Recommend refusal on grounds that removal of condition would result in development that would
increase use of sub-standard junction which, in the absence of satisfactory improvement, would
be likely to increase dangers and hazards to other road users.
