Core Refusal Reason
Public health risks from inadequate wastewater treatment and traffic safety hazards due to poor road alignment and restricted sightlines.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The absence of public sewerage or a compliant on-site wastewater treatment system (EPA CoP 2009) is prejudicial to public health.
- The proposed development is situated in a rural area where public infrastructure is insufficient to support the scale of the proposal.
- The vehicular entrances would join a poorly aligned public road with restricted sightlines, creating a significant traffic hazard.
