Core Refusal Reason
The development is premature pending the completion of critical road infrastructure and phasing requirements of Action Area 1, and fails to provide safe pedestrian/cyclist connectivity to the town center.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposal is premature pending the completion of the distributor road and necessary junction upgrades at Fishers Corner required under Phase 1 of Action Area 1.
- The development would endanger public safety due to a lack of adequate pedestrian and cycle linkages and the substandard nature of the existing local road network.
- The location of the independent living units at the northern edge of the LAP boundary, far from town services, results in unsustainable travel patterns and contravenes Objective CD 19.
