Core Refusal Reason
Insufficient justification for the quantum of internal gates and inadequate assessment of impacts on the curtilage of an adjacent Protected Structure.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant failed to provide a clear purpose or justification for the five proposed internal gates (3 vehicular and 2 pedestrian), which are considered excessive for the site context.
- The submitted Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment (AHIA) was deemed inadequate as it did not specifically address the impact of the current proposal on the historic masonry and curtilage of the adjacent Protected Structure (TRPS 2350).
- The proposed site layout is inconsistent with Condition 5(b)(ii) of the parent permission (Ref: 2560234), which requires the provision of landscaping rather than a footpath along the southern site boundary.
