Multiple planning applications across the UK have been rejected due to concerns over design, environmental impact, and historical preservation. An Bord Pleanála denied a €40 million apartment scheme in Cork, citing potential human remains from a former mother and baby home. In Worcester, a proposal for 28 affordable homes on a former golf course was dismissed for overdevelopment and not respecting the area's character. Dudley planners turned down a three-story apartment block despite local support, focusing on design issues and potential impacts on nearby trees. In West Lancashire, a plan to convert a farm outbuilding into living space was refused due to concerns it would create an independent dwelling. Lastly, Cambridge City Council rejected retirement flats near Anstey Hall, arguing the development would harm the historic site and diminish protected open space.
