Core Refusal Reason

- The proposal would result in a poor standard of residential amenity for intended occupants and would negatively impact the residential amenity of the existing dwelling and adjoining properties.
- Granting permission would set an undesirable precedent for future unsuitable development in the area and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the locality.
