The officer assessed the retrospective access as having no adverse visual impact because it is rough-formed, unpaved, and does not change the character of the road, blending with the rural setting.
Retention tied to submitted plans
This permission relates to the retention of the access which has been created as shown in the plans and photographs received on 9th January, 2007.
