Core Refusal Reason
Inadequate site size for effluent treatment resulting from proposed boundary revisions.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed revision of site boundaries reduces the adjacent site area to 0.166 hectares.
- The resulting site size is below the minimum threshold required to adequately treat and dispose of effluent.
- The development is considered contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area due to these environmental constraints.
