Planning Decision
Why it was refused
- The changes seek to include temporary buildings in permitted development rights for the site. The submission as part of this non-material amendment, while ultimately in planning terms may be acceptable through submission of a section 73 application, would not be acceptable as a non-material amendment. This would result in material consequence to Condition 17 of P/VOC/2023/05804, which currently requires the operator to seek written approval of the Mineral Planning Authority for installation, erection or placement of buildings within the site.
From the council's decision notice.
