Why it was refused
- The proposed development would represent inappropriate development within the Green Belt by reason of the resulting in a disproportionate additions over and above the original building, contrary to GB7 (b) of the National Planning Policy Framework 2026, and Local Plan Policy MG02. There are no matters in support of the application which would clearly outweigh the harm the development would cause through inappropriateness and reduction in openness of the Green Belt, within which the site is located. Therefore, no very special circumstances exist to justify the grant of planning permission for the inappropriate development.
- The proposal is of poor design resulting in a large, contrived bulky roof form that would be highly visible from the street scene that would be out of keeping with the Stondon Massey vernacular and therefore uncharacteristic of the area. The proposal would therefore be harmful to the character of the surrounding area and in conflict with Brentwood Local Plan Policy BE14 and the design objectives contained in chapter 12 of the NPPF which seeks to promote good high quality design and reinforce local distinctiveness.
From the council's decision notice.
