Core Refusal Reason
Unsuitable site drainage conditions and high water table posing a public health hazard.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- Onsite drainage conditions are inadequate for effluent disposal due to a high water table found at 0.5m below ground level.
- The underlying subsoil lacks the hydraulic capacity to safely process the wastewater generated by the proposed dwelling.
- The development would result in a public health hazard and fails to comply with the standards set out in the Wexford County Council County Development Plan.
