Core Refusal Reason
The application was deemed to have insufficient information regarding site drainage, traffic safety, design justification, and legal boundary clarity to warrant a grant of permission.
Decision Maker's Conclusion

- Outstanding issues remain regarding traffic safety at the proposed new access and the legal status of the site boundary where it has been extended to include land adjoining the regional road.
