Why it was refused

  1. The proposed changes to the site entrance, car parking and landscaping would introduce potential highway safety concerns in respect of conflict between pedestrians and vehicles and would materially affect the landscaping of the approved development to the potential detriment of local character and Biodiversity Net Gain. As such, the proposed amendment is considered material and cannot be agreed as a non-material amendment.

From the council's decision notice.
