Why it was refused

  1. On the basis of the limited information available, the Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that the impact of noise and vibration disturbance has been adequately assessed or mitigated to provide a satisfactory living environment for future occupiers and is therefore contrary to policy DM5 and DM22 of the Worthing Local Plan and the relevant paragraphs of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. In the absence of a site specific flood risk assessment to demonstrate that the proposed development and any mitigation measures would ensure that occupiers and users would remain safe from current and future flood risk for the lifetime of the development, it is not considered to adequately address issues related to flooding and is therefore contrary to policy DM20 of the Worthing Local Plan and the relevant paragraphs of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
