Refused
Core Refusal Reason
The development was refused due to the excessive density of one-off housing in the area leading to rural suburbanisation, its proximity to the town of Prosperous constituting haphazard development, and safety concerns regarding a new access onto a high-speed Regional Road.

- The creation of a new entrance onto the R408 Regional Road at a point with an 80kph speed limit would endanger public safety by reason of traffic hazard and conflict with Policy RR2.
