The application site represents comprises Field 514355 and part of Field 510185, Rheast Road Santon which is accessed from the main A5 road via The Sloping Road. The property "Springside" is located opposite the proposed field access.
The application site is located within an area identified as being "White Land" by the 1982 Development Order and as such represents the open countryside.

We have received no privately written representations in relation to this planning application.
This application seeks approval for the creation of a vehicular access to Fields 514355 and part of Field 510185. The submitted drawings show visibility splays of 2 metres by 36 metres and states that the field entrance is to be constructed of material which prevent the deposition of soil/mud or stones on the public highway.
The application form states that the existing use as agricultural land is to remain as agricultural land. A letter was sent to the Agent 3rd January in order to confirm that this is the case. The Agent replied stating that the applicant grazes horses on the site and that the proposed access would provide safe access.
The proposed field access would have a very limited visual impact upon the landscape and the wider area in general. The Department of Transport Highways Division has indicated no objection following discussions with the applicant and which has resulted in sufficient highway standards being included into the proposal and as such it is considered that there would be no adverse highway impacts as a result of this development. Whilst the access would be positioned opposite to the existing access to the property "Springside", it is not considered that this proposal would result in any significant disturbance or loss of residential amenity.
It is recommended that the application be approved.
