Core Refusal Reason
Inadequate and unsustainable wastewater treatment arrangements, including premature reliance on unbuilt public infrastructure and a disconnected percolation area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed connection to the Bing Sewage Scheme is premature as the necessary infrastructure has not yet been constructed.
- The location of the percolation area 200m from the dwelling, connected only by a thin strip of land, creates a risk of the system being lost or divided from the site.
- The proposed wastewater management layout is unsustainable and poses a potential environmental and public health hazard.

The proposal's reliance on the Bing Sewage Scheme was deemed premature as the sewer is not yet built, and the alternative arrangement of placing a percolation area 200m away from the house was considered unsustainable, physically precarious, and a risk to public health and the environment....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
