Plans for Park and Ride Looe refused


Plans for a Park & Ride scheme on the same site as the current Tesco proposal
Planning reference E2/93/20266CDC or 593/0918/CDC
01/11/1993 - Refused

Development by Local Authority 
Deemed Refusal of Planning Permission T&CPA 1990, T&CPG Regs 1992

Seasonal Use of Land as Car Park in connection with Park & Ride Scheme on 
land situated at land pt OS 0050 Barbican Road, East Looe (Grid ref: 2605 5460)

The application was received on 24/08/1993. The application has been dealt with in accordance with SB16 of the T&CPA 1990 and the provision of Reg 3 of the T&CPG Regs 1992. The Services Sub-Committee meeting held on 29th October 1993 passed a resolution to refuse the above application for the following reasons:

1) In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the proposed development would generate a considerable increase in vehicular traffic along Barbican Road, which is a busy road with restricted visibility and inadequate to cater for such additional vehicles and traffic emerging from the proposed means of access would likely create hazardous conditions to other road users.

2) In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the scale of engineering works envisaged to provide a vehicular access to the site would result in the loss of a valuable length of cornish hedge and the proposal would be detrimental to the visual amenities of this sensitive part of a Special Area of Great Landscape Value.

3) In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the proposal is premature pending a proper survey of the need for park and ride sites in the area.
