Core Refusal Reason
The proposal would exacerbate undesirable ribbon development without a demonstrated rural housing need and fails to provide safe road access with adequate sightlines.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development would worsen a suburban-style linear pattern, detracting from the rural character and visual amenity of the area.
- The applicant failed to demonstrate an overriding social or functional economic need to reside at this specific rural location.
- The proposed access lacks the required 65-meter sightlines, creating a potential traffic hazard and failing to meet safety standards.
