AN APPLICATION to create a new car parking space and dropped kerb at the front of a Rogerstone house has been been thrown out for a second time.
The planning application relating to number 30, Tredegar Park View, Newport, was refused in March over concerns around the impact on visibility.
Although the applicant re-submitted the plan with a relocated, larger parking space, Newport City Council’s planning department again threw out the application.
In its decision notice the council said its previous concerns remained and would only be re-assessed if a seven-day speed survey of the road was carried out.
A council report read “There is insufficient visibility and it does not appear that this can be overcome due to the curvature of the road.”
It also said: “While speeds in this area are likely to be low due to the narrowness of the road and curve, the pavements are heavily parked reducing visibility further.”
To view the application visit www.newport.gov.uk/planning and search for 17/0349.
