Core Refusal Reason
The application was refused due to traffic safety hazards on a restricted regional road, failure to provide a structural report for the redevelopment of a derelict dwelling, and lack of evidence for a viable potable water supply.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed site entrance onto the R355 Restricted Regional Road provides inadequate forward sight distances, which would endanger public safety by reason of traffic hazard and contravene Policy Objective NNR1.
- The applicant failed to submit a required structural report for the existing ruinous structure, meaning the proposal does not demonstrate compliance with Policy Objective RH7 regarding the suitability of the structure for redevelopment.
- In the absence of satisfactory evidence of a potable water supply, the development poses a risk to public health and contravenes Policy Objectives WS5 and WS7 and Development Management Standard 37.
