Why it was refused
- The Applicant has submitted insufficient information for the Environmental Protection Officer to be satisfied that the proposed development would not cause unacceptable harm through land contamination risks. Specifically, the site investigation assessment fails to accord with best practise and has not surveyed all of the areas necessary, such as below the oil tank and buildings. The proposal is therefore contrary to BN9 of the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy and Policy SS2 of the South Northamptonshire Local Plan Part 2. This application is refused under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and/or the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
From the council's decision notice.
