Decision Maker's Conclusion

- The proposed site entrance and associated works were deemed to pose a hazard to road safety following a referral to the Council's Roads department regarding insufficient sightlines.
- The applicant failed to demonstrate that the proposed wastewater treatment system and private well arrangement would not lead to groundwater contamination or public health risks.
