Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension, when taken cumulatively with previous additions, would result in a disproportionate increase in the size, bulk and footprint of the original building. The development would therefore fail to comply with the exception within paragraph 154(c) of the National Planning Policy Framework and is contrary to policy MG02 of the Brentwood Local Plan. By definition, such development is harmful to the Green Belt and should not be approved except in very special circumstances. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated to clearly outweigh the harm identified.

From the council's decision notice.
