Access Appraisals and Visibility Requirements
The Local Highway Authority will often raise concerns relating to visibility splay requirements at pre-application stage or object during the course of a planning application.
The Highway Authority refer to Manual for Streets Guidance or the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) for primary routes, but sometimes there is an overlap between which document visibility should be based upon.
There are other occasions where visibility splays can impact on the character of the area or require the removal of trees. Using my experience I am able to advise/interpret what visibility splays are required using the most appropriate guidance which whilst importantly provide safe and suitable access in agreement/discussion with the Highway Officer but also reduce the impact on character or tree loss.
