Why it was refused

  1. , I hereby refuse the following plans/information as a non-material amendment to the above planning permission. Drawing Numbers: - PFR0000-02 Ground floor level - PFR0000-01 Elevations - PFR0000-00 3D View Due to the differing design and form of the structure, the change to the roof design, and the increase in the overall height, the proposed alteration to the elevations of the proposed holiday lodge/chalets would result in a materially different appearance. Overall it is considered that the proposed changes are not acceptable as a non-material amendment to the scheme. As such, I would advise that full planning application should be submitted should you wish the Council to formally consider the acceptability of the proposed amendment.

From the council's decision notice.
