Why it was refused

The proposed amendments cannot be considered as non-material as the reduction in car parking spaces has the potential to impact public highway safety, or the operation of the local highway network. The material change proposed would need to be fully assessed and include a full consultation exercise, which can only be achieved by the submission of an application for full planning permission.

From the council's decision notice.
