Core Refusal Reason
The proposed extension fails to maintain the required minimum separation distance from an existing 225mm surface water sewer.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development is located in such close proximity to an existing 225mm surface water sewer that it cannot meet mandatory separation requirements.
- The restricted nature of the site prevents any viable realignment or mitigation to protect the public drainage infrastructure.
- Granting permission would be prejudicial to public health and would conflict with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
