Why it was refused

  1. Article 35 Declaration Officers have informed the agent that the proposal is fundamentally unacceptable, and therefore no negotiations in this instance would resolve the problems arising in relation to dealing with the planning application. The proposal is considered to be contrary to the development plan and therefore refused in a timely manner.

From the council's decision notice.
