Why it was refused

  1. Planning permission ref. DC/069553 has been superseded by planning permission ref. DC/087492 for the proposed change of use of part of the existing building to provide a car tyre facility business in addition to the existing car wash granted on 8th June 2023. It is understood that whilst the description of the development pertaining to ref. DC/087492 included 'proposed' it was indeed retrospective. The proposed amendments would differ materially from those details which has been granted planning permission and are therefore considered to go beyond a non-material amendment under the provisions of Sec.96A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and accordingly would be required to be considered as part of an application for full planning permission.

From the council's decision notice.
