Core Refusal Reason
The application was deferred for Further Information due to significant deficiencies in environmental impact data, specifically regarding Appropriate Assessment screening, surface water management, and operational mitigation measures.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant failed to provide a Habitats Directive Screening Statement, leaving the Planning Authority unable to assess potential impacts on the Rye Water Valley/Carton SAC.
- The proposed surface water drainage system does not meet council requirements, requiring further topographical data and a summary report on contaminated run-off capture.
- There is a lack of detail regarding environmental monitoring and mitigation for odour, noise, and pests, as well as insufficient information on waste handling and transport logistics.
