Core Refusal Reason
The development constitutes overdevelopment of a constrained site, poses significant traffic safety risks via a substandard access onto a regional road, and is premature due to inadequate public sewerage infrastructure.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed scale, design, and layout represent overdevelopment of the site that would be out of character with the surrounding area and injurious to local amenities.
- The intensification of use at a substandard access point onto the R505 regional road would create a traffic hazard and interfere with the safety and free flow of traffic.
- The proposal is premature by reference to the existing deficiency in public piped sewerage facilities serving the area and the lack of a defined timeframe for necessary upgrades.
