Why it was refused

  1. The proposed amendments would result in an incomplete landscaping scheme for development approved under planning permission 240035. In the absence of Development comprehensively covering the application site, the proposal would harm the character and appearance of the site, the streetscene and wider area, contrary to Policies D9 and D10a of the Eastbourne Core Strategy, Policies UHT1, UHT4 and UHT7 of the Eastbourne Borough Plan
  2. The proposed relocation of cycle storage would result in facilities that are not readily accessible to future occupiers, with access to the cycle store serving Flat 3 only available through the dwelling itself. The proposal would therefore fail to provide convenient and functional cycle parking facilities, contrary to Policy D8 of the Eastbourne Core Strategy, Policy TR6 of the Eastbourne Borough Plan

From the council's decision notice.
