Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The application was refused due to significant concerns regarding the safe disposal of domestic effluent in a flood-vulnerable area, the lack of a site-specific flood risk assessment, and the potential for adverse impacts on nearby Natura 2000 protected sites.

Decision Maker's Conclusion
