Core Refusal Reason

Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development lacks essential design details for internal road infrastructure and fails to demonstrate compliance with the Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets (DMURS).
- The proposed wastewater treatment and surface water drainage arrangements are insufficient to ensure public health and prevent water pollution without further technical certification and infrastructure upgrades.
- The absence of comprehensive plans for noise mitigation, landscaping, and waste management would negatively impact the amenities of the surrounding area and the orderly development of the site.
