Why it was refused

  1. Design and Character The proposal to maintain and make the portable jack-leg cabin for use as changing rooms, permanent is found to be unacceptable due to its setting, massing, form and the low quality cabin and materials making the proposed cabin unsympathetic and out of character with the wider area, that has a clear character. As a result, the proposed development fails to comply with guidance within the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Bristol Core Strategy 2011 Policies BCS21 and BCS22 as well as Policies DM26, DM27 and DM30 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Local Plan 2014.

From the council's decision notice.
