Hi all
A quick query - does anyone know the minimum standard for sight lines if you are accessing a regional road in a 60kph zone (site is on the outskirts of town)? the NRA guidelines state 90m but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of this. I've just been refused planning on this condition (have no problems local needs, design of house is fine, etc) despite having 120metres and over 200m the other direction. I haven't had a chance to read the report yet but I would welcome any advice or input. My architect is quite annoyed and is suggesting appealing to An Bord Pleanala (it's our second refusal) but i'm a little nervous about going through this process as that's it if we fail.
what's really annoying is that in my county's development plan the road is going to be straightened anyway, which would give me 200m each way.
any suggestions gratefully appreciated
