Proposals to build a new house and garage on land behind an existing property in Lichfield have been rejected.

The plans were submitted for a plot at the rear of 22 London Road.

But planning chiefs have refused permission for the development due to concerns over the access to the site.

A report said:

> “Staffordshire County Highways team was consulted as part of the planning process and have raised objections to the proposals.  
>  
> “Further information was requested in the form of visibility splays and discussions between the highways officer and the agent regarding speeds of the road were undertaken.  
>  
> “The applicant has subsequently decided not to provide the further information requested to demonstrate that the access is appropriate to serve the development proposed.  
>  
> “The proposals would therefore be unacceptable overall on highways grounds.”  
>  
> Planning report
