Core Refusal Reason
The application was deemed premature and contrary to the proper planning of the area due to non-compliance with previous planning conditions regarding site visibility and surface water management, alongside a failure to provide sufficient information on environmental impacts and waste disposal.

- The proposal fails to adequately address site-specific pluvial flood risks and does not provide the necessary technical details to ensure safe vehicular access and egress onto the public road L5207-0.
