Core Refusal Reason
The application was refused due to traffic safety hazards on a national road, the exacerbation of ribbon development, and insufficient evidence regarding the suitability of wastewater treatment arrangements.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development would create a traffic hazard on the N30 national road by introducing new turning movements in a 100kmh zone without demonstrating that 230m sightlines can be maintained.
- The proposal would result in an undesirable linear pattern of development, contributing to a density of five or more houses within 250m of road frontage, harming visual amenity and public safety.
- Insufficient technical information was provided to confirm that the proposed wastewater management system would not negatively impact public health or the local environment.
