Hi Cork San
No, there was no mention of that. I think my council are trying to limit access points on regional roads, that's it. Although it didn't stop them granting premission further out the road in the 80km zone, but I'm not bitter! The quote from the refusal report is the following:
"having regard to site's location off the Regional route, where sightlines are restricted, it is considered that the proposed development would be injurious to public safety by reason of a traffic hazard and would materially contraven the provisions of the county development plan and would establish an undesirable future precedent"
The agricultural entrance is barely used, to be honest - belonging to an uncle in his seventies who keeps a few cattle every so often, but is not acceptable to the council. I hope you have beeter luck.
