398 m² extension refused on 4 September

Council refusal dated 4 September 2026

What the evidence says
Order 1014 refuses the west-side extension in the unused yard. Its description specifies 398 m², 8 m clear internal height and 9 m maximum external height, compared with the existing 6.85 m warehouse. These dimensions describe the refused proposal.

Why it may matter — interpretation
A revised planning route is needed before treating the extension as executable work.

What is not established
An appeal, replacement proposal, reversal of refusal or commencement was not established.

Internal-yard traffic safety is the refusal reason

One council refusal ground

What the evidence says
The single refusal ground spans pages 1–2: the internal-yard layout and vehicle movements introduce risk to yard users and would create a traffic hazard, contrary to traffic safety and public safety. The refusal followed the August clarification response.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Transport specialists can focus any redesign on safe movements and the interaction between vehicles and other yard users.

What is not established
A safe replacement arrangement or council acceptance of one was not reviewed.

August PL3 reduced parking but did not secure permission

Historical August revision within the refused application

What the evidence says
The response reduced four parking spaces to three, including a relocated accessible bay, and added a 1.2 m pedestrian walkway. Drawing C-0004 PL3 models a light van making a three-point turn and reversing to the new door. These submitted arrangements belong to the proposal subsequently refused on 4 September.

Why it may matter — interpretation
The drawing records what was tested; a future redesign should not treat this manoeuvre or parking layout as approved.

What is not established
The applicant’s delivery-frequency and swept-path statements are not independent safety validation. No accepted replacement layout is established.
