Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The application failed to provide adequate details on the location, capacity, and operational status of the existing wastewater treatment system.
- The planning authority was unable to determine if the current infrastructure could effectively treat and dispose of wastewater from both the original dwelling and the extension.
- The proposed retention is considered prejudicial to public health and inconsistent with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
