Core Refusal Reason
The development was refused due to traffic safety concerns regarding the intensification of turning movements onto the N84 national secondary road and unresolved flood risk concerns.

- The development would have a detrimental impact on the capacity and operational efficiency of the national road network, contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
