Core Refusal Reason
The application was refused due to significant concerns regarding traffic safety at the proposed entrance and the environmental suitability of the site for a private wastewater treatment system.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed entrance would create a traffic hazard due to restricted sightlines, as indicated by the referral to the Council Roads department.
- The proposed wastewater treatment system and percolation area pose a risk to public health and groundwater quality, as highlighted by the Environmental department's assessment.
- The development fails to demonstrate compliance with the rural housing policy for the Croom area, which is categorized as being under strong urban influence.
