Core Refusal Reason
The application was deferred for further information due to technical deficiencies in the wastewater treatment proposal, lack of evidence for water connection feasibility, and concerns regarding the structural stability of the derelict building.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed wastewater treatment system is inadequately supported by valid site characterisation data, specifically regarding invalid percolation values and incorrect trial hole placement.
- There is insufficient evidence to confirm the feasibility of a public water connection or the structural stability of the existing derelict structure to accommodate the proposed interventions.
- The existing vehicular access arrangements are considered informal and require detailed formalisation to ensure traffic safety and appropriate site standards.
