Why it was refused

  1. The amendment relates to the creation of an additional vehicular crossover onto a classified road. This constitutes an element of development requiring planning permission additional to that granted permission under 3285/24/FUL. Moreover, the proposal gives rise to the need for further consultation with the local highway authority vis-à-vis the acceptability of the additional access in terms of pedestrian and highway safety, together with consideration of the visual impact of partly demolishing the stone boundary wall upon the street scene. For these reasons, the proposal is not considered to constitute a non-material amendment.

From the council's decision notice.
