The developers transforming the old American Adventure site into homes have had to go back to the drawing board. It comes after building inspectors told Avant Homes a section of road would not to be wide enough to allow fire engines to pass.
So inspectors told the company to make suitable changes to the access arrangements. In a statement, Avant Homes said: "Our NHBC Building Inspector has highlighted to us that fire engine access along the private drive serving plots 69 and 70 cannot be achieved.
"They have advised that a fire engine can only be expected to reverse 20m and the hose can reach a maximum distance of 45m. They have recommended that a turning head is provided at the end of the private driveway so that the required hose distance can be achieved."
