Thanks garrymartin, & kandgmitchell the visibility splays were not correct, I have adjusted them... but its tight. Speed survey may work as currently cars parked on the road forces traffic to stop and give way. although if the road is clear then often people are over the speed limit as its quite a rural, and you can see quite far up and down the road. The adjacent land is not used. if there were no obstructions, but the splays still passed over it slightly would i still have to have some sort of agreement? In short I think it will be very difficult without removing the hedges on both sides to make the visibility splays work although depending where the channel can actually be measured from, the splays only just cut across the front of the hedges... if they were not overgrown, they may work... a lot could depend on how accurately they check measurements etc, and where they are taken from

Hi Everyone, looking for some advice! I own a plot of land opposite my house, and I am looking to add vehicular access & a driveway. This issue I have is that the road is a B classified 30mph road, and I am struggling with the required 43m visibility splays. There are 4 existing driveways to neighbouring properties that definitely would not meet the requirements, and are worse than mine would be for visibility up and down the road. I have not submitted an application yet, but I want to gauge if an application is likely to be accepted and do all I can to try and satisfy the requirements prior to submitting. My land is higher than the road by approximately 700mm, and this continues both sides of the proposed driveway... in addition to this there are hedges both sides. These hedges can be trimmed right down within reason, although I would need to get permission for the hedge on my neighbours land See attached plans & diagrams. any advice comments on what my options are... or are not as the case may be would be much appreciated Thanks Proposed Access-01.pdf
