Refused
Core Refusal Reason
The application was refused due to a significant lack of supporting information regarding environmental impacts, business justification, and traffic safety, which prevented a full assessment of the development's potential effects on the surrounding area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant failed to provide sufficient information to assess the scale, operation, and environmental effects of the development, including the absence of a required business plan to justify the intensive agricultural use.
- No Appropriate Assessment Screening Report was submitted to evaluate potential significant effects on designated European sites, particularly given the site's proximity to the River Glyde.
- The proposal involves the intensification of a substandard access onto the R-166 without a Traffic Impact Assessment or Road Safety Audit, posing a risk to public safety by reason of traffic hazard.
