Core Refusal Reason
Failure to demonstrate a rurally generated housing need in an area under strong urban influence and insufficient technical evidence regarding wastewater treatment capacity.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant failed to provide documentation demonstrating a local housing need as required by CPO 4.24 for developments within 'Rural Areas Under Strong Urban Influence'.
- It was not demonstrated that the wastewater treatment system permitted under a previous application (PL 21/175) could adequately manage the increased loading of the proposed larger dwelling.
- Insufficient information was submitted regarding the site entrance, sightlines, and surface water disposal to ensure the development would not be prejudicial to public health or traffic safety.
