Why it was refused

  1. The application made under reference S.25/1914/CPE seeks demonstrate that the development permitted by virtue of planning reference S.24/0918/FUL has lawfully commenced and as such the permission remains extant. The biodiversity net gain condition has not been discharged prior to development being undertaken on the site, therefore permission S.24/0918/FUL has not been lawfully implemented. Accordingly, the application does not satisfy the provisions of Section 191 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Panning Act 1990 (inserted by the Environment Act 2021).

From the council's decision notice.
