Core Refusal Reason
The proposal was refused due to inappropriate design relative to the existing vernacular dwelling, insufficient technical data regarding drainage and access, and the absence of a required archaeological assessment.

- Inadequate information regarding surface water drainage and site access prevents a proper assessment of potential impacts on public health and traffic safety.
- The failure to submit a mandatory archaeological assessment for a site located near a registered monument is contrary to heritage protection objectives.
