Core Refusal Reason
The development is precluded by a 1985 Deed of Dedication for public open space, making residential development a material contravention of the 'RES' zoning objective.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The site is subject to a 1985 Deed of Dedication for public open space, and its development for private housing would materially contravene the 'RES' zoning objective and set an undesirable precedent for the loss of conditional open space.

- The application lacks essential technical information regarding tree preservation, road safety visibility, vehicular access widths, and specific parking provision in accordance with development plan standards.
