Why it was refused

The proposed development by virtue of the positioning, height and materiality would appear visually dominant and urban within the street scene detracting from the existing rural character, appearance and visual amenity of the area in conflict with Brentwood Local Plan BE14 and the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
The proposed development would obstruct the existing visibility splays at both vehicular accesses. This insufficient inter-visibility between vehicles on the carriageway and those using the site accesses would result in an unacceptable degree of hazard for both emerging and approaching vehicles, and all other highway users to the detriment of highway safety. Furthermore the proposed sliding gates are not set back far enough into the site from the carriageway edge and would give rise to unacceptable vehicle obstruction upon the adjacent carriageway with vehicles waiting to enter, result in adverse impact on highway safety/ efficiency. The proposed development would therefore not comply with policy BE12 of the Brentwood Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
