Core Refusal Reason
Failure to meet rural housing eligibility criteria, exacerbation of ribbon development, and inadequate wastewater treatment documentation.
Decision Maker's Conclusion

- The proposed dwelling would contribute to an undesirable pattern of ribbon development, resulting in a suburbanized linear form that detracts from the rural character of the area.
- Insufficient information was provided regarding the wastewater assessment, rendering the proposal potentially prejudicial to public health.
