- The communal wastewater treatment system lacks the necessary capacity to handle additional discharge from the proposed development.
- The resulting increase in effluent loading is considered unacceptable and unsustainable for the existing infrastructure.
- The development is deemed contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area due to these infrastructural constraints.
