Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the proposed extensions can be carried out without adverse impacts upon protected species. In the absence of this information, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that there would be no adverse impact on protected species or if suitable mitigation measures can be secured. As such the proposed development would be contrary to the provisions of Policy DM2 of the Local Plan Part 2 for New Forest District Council outside of the National Park.

From the council's decision notice.
