Core Refusal Reason

- Insufficient data was provided regarding infill volumes and depths, creating uncertainty over flood risk impacts and whether the development triggers a mandatory Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR).
- The proposal is considered premature until existing unauthorised developments and works on the subject lands are regularised.
