Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes a substandard and piecemeal form of backland development that would negatively impact residential amenity and create a traffic hazard due to a restricted site layout and inadequate access.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development represents a substandard and piecemeal form of backland development that would result in a restricted site layout with inadequate private amenity space and poor parking/maneuvering arrangements.

- The proposal would endanger public safety by reason of a traffic hazard due to additional traffic movements on a narrow, poorly aligned road and a lack of sufficient on-site space for vehicle turning and parking.
