The proposal failed to qualify as a replacement dwelling due to the prior demolition and abandonment of the original structure, and the proposed entrance was deemed a traffic hazard due to inadequate sightlines.

• The development does not qualify as a replacement dwelling under CPO 9.25 because the original structure was already demolished and residential use abandoned; consequently, the applicant failed to demonstrate a genuine local housing need as required for a new dwelling in a 'Structurally Weak Area'.
• The proposed entrance would create a significant traffic hazard due to the inability to achieve required 90m sightlines and its proximity to a road bend and solid white line on a route with an 80kph speed limit.
• The siting of the dwelling is considered unacceptable due to its close proximity to the public road (less than the required 20m) and the fact that relocating it further back would impede compliance with separation distances for the proposed wastewater treatment system.
