Core Refusal Reason
Insufficient footpath width for pedestrian clearance, failing to meet the minimum 1.8m standard required by DMURS.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed pedestrian clearance of 1715mm is below the required minimum of 1800mm necessary to accommodate mobility-impaired users.
- The development fails to comply with Figure 4.34 of the Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets (DMURS) regarding minimum pedestrian walkway widths.
- Granting permission would set an undesirable precedent for similar developments that would cumulatively harm local amenities and contravene proper planning and sustainable development.

The development was found to be in breach of DMURS standards and was considered to set a negative precedent for the area's amenities....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
