Core Refusal Reason
The development was refused due to traffic safety hazards arising from an inadequate road network and the failure to justify the location of a waste facility on un-zoned land.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The absence of passing bays on the L-6147 would necessitate dangerous reversing movements for large vehicles, creating a significant traffic hazard.
- Insufficient technical data, specifically a sweep analysis for larger vehicles, was provided to allow for a full assessment of the development's impact on public safety.
- The proposal fails to demonstrate a locational need for an Authorised Treatment Facility on un-zoned land and is not situated near a main town as required by Objective WM06.
