Core Refusal Reason
The proposal failed to demonstrate that it would not adversely affect residential amenity through noise pollution and lacked sufficient technical detail regarding waste operations and site transportation standards.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant failed to provide a professional noise study or adequate mitigation measures to ensure that the proposed waste processing structure would not result in excessive noise levels for the established residential area located directly to the rear of the site.

- The proposed site layout and transportation arrangements were found to be deficient, failing to meet development plan standards for parking, electric vehicle charging, bicycle facilities, and pedestrian safety (DMURS compliance).
