Dear Sir/Madam, 
Local Review Board Reference Number 24/0017/LRB:- Return Comments from Applicant 
Please find attached our comments regarding the representations received. 
Response to Traffic and Developments Officer 28th October 2024 
The Officer acknowledges that they are willing to consider a reduction in the visibility splay
requirement if the applicant can provide a more recent sample with the same findings. 
We wish the Review Board to note that if the determination of this application for Planning
Renewal had occurred in a normal timeframe rather than three years after the submission of
the Traffic Survey report, then a more recent sample may not have been requested?   
Please refer to the further email stream attachment from Ferguson Planning Consultants
dated 10/08/2021 confirming date that access Review report was submitted to the Planning
Officer and central team. 
Local Review Board Reference Number 24/0017/LRB:- 
On reading Section 3 of the Review Case Statement, it records that visibility splay (136m x
2.4m x 1.05m) “in respect of the application development was made in the context of more
current/up to date standards”. 
Would the Review Board please note:- (21/00232/PPP Site for erection of two dwelling
houses) while in close proximity and sharing the same road, was approved with a 42m
visibility splay some 11 months after the 136m was conditioned on this review application site.
Presumably with both applications covered by the same more current/up to date standards. 
Although it is stated that (“each application is assessed on its own merits”) a degree of
uniformity of policy and standards is a reasonable request. Therefore we would ask the
Review Members in this instance to consider fair application of standards as a Material
Consideration. 
Yours JS  Applicant
