Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development materially contravenes the 'R - Commercial and Retail' zoning objective of the Sallins Local Area Plan 2016-2022, which does not permit funeral home use.

- The lack of adequate parking and transport information presents a potential traffic hazard to road users on the R407 and within adjacent residential developments.
