Trying to split siblings

Hi
I am a connected persons Foster Carer for my 21 month old granddaughter unfortunately my daughter got pregnant again and now my 2nd grandchild is with her mom in a mother and baby foster placement going threw court
Well just to add she is now under a different local authority. I had a call Friday from the baby’s social worker Friday saying I had failed my assessment to care for the new baby.
So upset with them as they have not contacted my own local authority at all to see how the placement as been going with my 1st grandchild which is going really well there as been no concerns her development is above and behind belief she is an amazing little girl
Does anyone now no how I can go forward with this I have been told the guardian and the judge are all on my side and want what I want but why would social services make a decision to split the girls for life when there is no viable reason I have not had the report to find out why I failed
Is it also right a person from the connected persons team does the viability assessment as with my 1st assessment with my 1st grandchild I had an independent social worker do it and she took time to get to no me the social workers from the new local authority as never hardly spoke to me
