Why it was refused
- The proposed variation of approved plans, sought under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, would result in a development that materially differs from and goes beyond the built form authorised by the original Class Q approval ABD/36/24/001 and the subsequent betterment permission 3/36/25/001. By reason of its scale, footprint increase and erosion of the approved linear form, the proposal would no longer represent a proportionate or acceptable form of betterment and cannot be secured through a variation of conditions. As such this development should be considered through the submission of a full planning application.
From the council's decision notice.
