Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development is located on lands designated as public open space under a previous planning permission (Ref: 23/60337) and its loss would materially contravene planning conditions, injure residential amenities, and be premature pending the development of adjacent lands.

- The loss of this site would compromise future pedestrian connectivity to lands to the west and southwest and would establish an undesirable future precedent for similar developments that erode planned open space.
