Core Refusal Reason
The application was refused primarily due to concerns regarding road safety and the adequacy of the existing wastewater treatment system.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed development would create a traffic hazard due to the intensification of use of an existing access onto a narrow road with restricted sightlines.
- The applicant failed to demonstrate that the existing septic tank and wastewater treatment system are capable of accommodating the proposed development without risk to public health or the environment.
- The scale and design of the proposed detached garage and the modifications to the front elevation were considered to be inconsistent with the visual character of the existing dwelling and the surrounding rural landscape.
