Why it was refused

  1. The reserved matters are sought for all plots and there is no indication that the intended occupiers have had any input into the design of the dwellings. This would be a fundamental conflict with the outline permission as the dwellings would not be self or custom build housing as per the definition given by Section

From the council's decision notice.
