Core Refusal Reason
The proposal was refused due to its detrimental impact on rural character through incremental land subdivision, failure to demonstrate site suitability for wastewater treatment, and the inclusion of an oversized domestic garage without justification.

- The proposed domestic garage, at 115sqm, exceeds the 80sqm threshold set in the Development Plan without providing the required satisfactory justification for a structure of that size.
