Why it was refused
- The proposed extension would create an unsympathetic addition to the host dwelling that would more than double the size of the outbuilding, resulting in a poor design that would appear cramped and within the plot. The roofscape is contrived and poorly integrated and the proposed materials would not match those of the host dwellinghouse, the existing outbuilding or those within the locality. The resulting intensification of the dwellinghouse would be contrary to the character of the area, contrary to Policy CS41 of the Core Strategy (2012) and the Residential Design Guide (2008).
- The development would create unacceptable impacts on neighbouring amenity, with increased noise and intensification of the property. Furthermore, the occupation of the outbuilding could create more traffic movements and parking requirements, which cannot be property assessed without further information from the applicant, contrary to Policy CS41 of the Core Strategy (2012).
From the council's decision notice.
