Visual Amenity
Siting a second dwelling to the rear of an existing house in a designated cluster results in haphazard backland development that is visually intrusive and anomalous in its rural setting.
Clare County Development Plan 2017-2023, CDP 13.3 (Western Corridor Working Landscape)haphazard backland development which will injure the visual and residential amenities of the adjoining property to the west
Residential Amenity
The proposed dwelling's front elevation faces the rear garden of the adjoining western property, causing loss of privacy and overlooking that unduly impacts residential amenities.
Clare County Development Plan 2017-2023, CDP 3.7loss of privacy and overlooking
Density
Siting a second dwelling on the 0.3 ha site results in a density of development out of character with the surrounding pattern of individual dwellings on individual plots, leading to overdevelopment.
Clare County Development Plan 2017-2023, Appendix 1 (minimum site area 0.2 ha / 0.5 acres)density of development which is out of character with the pattern of development in the vicinity, resulting in overdevelopment of this site
Wastewater Percolation
Proposed connection to the existing septic tank without a site characterization assessment or qualified engineer's report is prejudicial to public health, particularly given the area's known wastewater disposal constraints and the tank's inadequate capacity for the combined population equivalent.
Clare County Development Plan 2017-2023, Appendix 1proposed development by reason of the means of wastewater disposal proposed, would be prejudicial to public health
