Core Refusal Reason
The application failed to provide critical information regarding the proximity of the wastewater treatment system to the Group Water Scheme and failed to address the planning status of an apparently unauthorized vehicular entrance.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant did not submit the location of the Group Water Scheme, making it impossible to assess if the proposed wastewater system meets the required 100m separation distance.
- A recently constructed vehicular access point appears to be unauthorized and lacks planning permission, contributing to a haphazard and piecemeal development pattern.
- The proposed site layout and parking arrangements fail to demonstrate compliance with relevant engineering standards and the Rural House Design Guide.
