Why it was refused

  1. The continued siting of 'The Drive' on the site not in accordance with condition 12 of AWDM/0692/20 has a detrimental impact on the amenities of the occupants of particularly plot 3b in terms of detrimental visual impact and loss of light but also plots 3a, 4 and Radisson House, 77 Mill Lane in terms of visual impact and use and operation of the site. The variation of the condition would protract the harm to the amenity of the occupants contrary to policy DM5 of the Worthing Local Plan and relevant policies of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
