Core Refusal Reason
Inadequate wastewater treatment and disposal capabilities on-site due to failed percolation tests and insufficient technical information.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The site failed both sub-surface and surface percolation tests, indicating that the underlying subsoil is incapable of hydraulically disposing of effluent.
- The application provided insufficient information and lacked clarity regarding the wastewater assessment for the proposed development.
- The proposed development poses a significant risk to public health and is contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
