Core Refusal Reason

- The development provides substandard internal bedroom floor areas and insufficient private open space for a 3-bed, 6-person house, contrary to national and local guidelines.
- The proximity of the structure to the rear of properties on Long Lane would create an overbearing impact and adversely affect daylight and sunlight for neighboring residents.
