Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes over-development of a confined site, creates a traffic hazard at a turning head, and lacks adequate surface water management details.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed development of two houses on a site originally intended for one constitutes over-development, resulting in excessive site coverage and injury to the residential amenities of the vicinity.

- The applicant failed to provide sufficient detail regarding surface/storm water drainage and a suitable SUDS strategy to demonstrate that water can be adequately managed within the site curtilage.
