In their letter of objection, the department states: “The access arrangements as shown on Drawing No 131124/A/04 C are unacceptable from a highway safety point of view as the proposed right turn lane conflicts with the access serving Revels Croft Farm to the north of the proposed access”.

Their notice continues: “…  the proposed right turn lane would give rise to conditions prejudicial to highway safety in relation to traffic accessing Revels Croft Farm. A Stage One Safety Audit is required in support of any revised junction layout .”
