Core Refusal Reason
The refusal is based on the necessity for archaeological preservation, adequate surface water management, and the restriction of the garage to ancillary residential use to protect local amenities.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- Comprehensive archaeological monitoring and a formal method statement are required to protect potential subterranean remains during all groundworks.
- The proposal fails to ensure that all surface water run-off is contained within the site, posing risks to public health and the integrity of the public road.
- Strict limitations on the use of the structure are necessary to prevent commercial activity or independent residential occupancy, which would be contrary to orderly development.
