Why it was refused

  1. The proposed outbuilding, by reason of its excessive scale, would be an overbearing and uncharacteristic addition to the site that fails to complement the prevailing character of either the host dwelling or the wider locality. The outbuilding fails to comply with the Residential Extensions & Alterations SPD (2025) and the requirements of Policy DMP1 of the Local Plan 2019-2041.
  2. The proposed development, by reason of the provision of primary living accommodation, would clearly support a self-contained residential use, contrary to the requirements of the Residential Extensions & Alterations SPD (2025) and Policy BH12 of the Local Plan 2019-2041.

From the council's decision notice.
