Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development fails to comply with the design parameters and conditions of the parent permission (P21-725), specifically regarding orientation, scale, and massing, which are deemed inappropriate for the site's topography and visual amenity.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant failed to comply with Condition No. 6 of the parent permission (P21-725), which required the submission and agreement of design parameters for the cluster units prior to individual applications.

- The design does not reflect the principles of the Rural Housing Design Guide or the Best Practice Guidelines for Cluster Housing Schemes, particularly regarding its northern orientation and lack of integration with the access road.
