Core Refusal Reason
Traffic hazard and obstruction of public roads due to the volume and size of heavy vehicle movements required for the development.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The size and frequency of heavy vehicle trips required for fill importation would cause significant obstruction to oncoming traffic.
- The narrow road conditions would likely necessitate hazardous reversing maneuvers by large vehicles to allow others to pass.
- The proposed development constitutes a danger to public safety by creating a traffic hazard on the local road network.
