Core Refusal Reason
Failure to demonstrate a sustainable parking solution, protection of residential amenity from noise, and adequate conservation of Protected Structures.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant failed to provide a feasible parking solution, resulting in a 15-space shortfall and an unauthorized reliance on third-party lands without legal interest or control.
- Insufficient information was provided to assess the impact on residential amenity, specifically regarding potential noise pollution from the proposed outdoor beer garden and reception room.
- The proposal lacked adequate conservation methodologies and justifications for the replacement of historic features, potentially harming the architectural integrity of Protected Structures and the Collon Architectural Conservation Area.
