   Decision issued: Prior Approval Required and Refused

4. 23 Aug 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

This application sits outside the common categories, which can include county matters such as minerals and waste, works by statutory undertakers, demolition notifications and other less frequent procedures. The council record linked below sets out the specific procedure that applies, and the description above is taken directly from the published register.
