Core Refusal Reason
Failure to deliver a functional pedestrian and cycle permeability link as required by parent permissions, coupled with inadequate documentation regarding site boundaries and the impact of unauthorized retaining wall works on public amenity.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The 'as built' works create a hard boundary and a physical gap that prevents the delivery of the mandatory pedestrian/cycle link required under parent permissions ABP-303978-19 and ABP-312216-21.
- The applicant failed to provide accurate boundary mapping (red/blue lines) or necessary letters of consent for works on lands outside their ownership, hindering the assessment of the connection's delivery.
- The relocated and extended retaining wall lacks sufficient technical detail to demonstrate that it does not adversely impact the functionality and amenity of the permitted green space to the southwest.
