Why it was refused
- The application contains insufficient information to demonstrate that the proposed demolition and restoration of the site would not result in an unaccepable adverse impact on neighbouring amenity, highway safety and protected species. Therefore, it is recommended that prior approval is required and refused in accordance with Schedule 2, Part 11, Class B of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
From the council's decision notice.
