(i) (a) the retention of the rebuilding of part of an existing single storey out-building following natural collapse and the internal conversion of whole of said out-building to suit residential use and for the retention of small attached sheds (b) planning permission for the change-of-use of the whole of aforementioned existing outbuilding, including rebuilt part and aforementioned sheds, to residential use for long-term rental purposes, and (ii) the retention of existing foundations of a proposed garage/storage building and planning permission for continuance of the construction of said new garage/storage building for the incidental enjoyment of the existing main house and (iii) all associated site works and ancillary services as may be required and as may relate to the above
Core Refusal Reason
The development fails to meet rural housing need criteria for an agricultural zone, lacks adequate wastewater treatment details for a multi-unit site, and includes a garage of excessive, non-ancillary scale.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed residential unit for long-term rental on agricultural land fails to demonstrate a genuine housing, social, or economic need, thereby contravening Objective CPO 6.41 and the rural settlement strategy.
- The lack of technical data on the existing wastewater treatment system and the proposed sharing of a private plant between two dwellings is contrary to Objective CPO 13.17 and potentially prejudicial to public health.
- The 125sqm garage is considered excessive in size and scale, exceeding the needs of the existing dwelling and failing to qualify as an ancillary structure, which would set an undesirable precedent.
