Your Ref: 20200724 My Ref: 9/5/20/0724 Date: 5 May 2020 Tel No.: 01603 638070 Email: stuart.french@.gov.uk Dear Philip & Burlingham: Change of use of part of dwelling house to form a single dwelling The Station House,26 Station Road, Lingwood and Burlingham, NR13 4AZ Thank you for your recent consultation with respect to the above. There is some restriction to the visibility to the north of the the junction of the access road with the main highway (northern side) as a result of overgrowth from the boundary hedge and boundary fence/fence post. Whilst the cutting back/maintenance of the hedge, which is currently over growing the highway, would provide some improvement to visibility, this is to the non-critical traffic direction and a minor relaxation in standard is considered acceptable in this location. Furthermore, notwithstanding the increase in traffic movements that would result from this application, if approved, on balance I do not consider I could sustain an objection on visibility grounds alone. I note that the proposal state that parking will be provided, but no specific details of existing and proposed parking provision are supplied. Present parking provision, which is in not delineated in any way, is clearly shared between the needs of the existing property and that of the railway. Whilst the access road is outside the jurisdiction of the highway authority, there will undoubtedly be increased parking demand on the access road and possibly resulting restricted turning provision also; however, I do not consider increased demand would lead to displaced parking on the highway and is more likely to give rise to social issues. Accordingly whist the Highway Authority raise no objection to the application, the LPA may wish to consider whether appropriate condition(s) should be appended to any grant of consent to demarcate parking and turning provision for the development as whole in the interests of satisfactory development. Yours sincerely
