Why it was refused
- In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed extensions and roof alterations, by virtue of their size, when considered individually and cumulatively with previous additions to the dwelling, would result in disproportionate additions to the original dwelling, to the detriment of the openness of the Green Belt. The proposal therefore represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt, which, by definition, would be harmful to it. No material considerations have been advanced or are apparent which would outweigh that harm. The proposal would therefore not comply with Policies CP8 (Green Belt), DM42 (Managing Development in the Green Belt) and DM43 (The Replacement or Extension of Dwellings in the Green Belt (Including Outbuildings)) of the Wycombe District Local Plan Adopted August 2019.
- The proposed extensions and alterations, by virtue of the two storey side extension, would result in a large bulky and dominant form which is out of keeping with the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and traditional building forms in the Chilterns National Landscape. The proposal would therefore be detrimental to the character and appearance of both the existing dwelling and the National Landscape, contrary to Policies CP9 (sense of Place), DM30 (The Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), DM35 (Placemaking and Design Quality) and DM36 (Extensions and Alterations to Existing Dwellings) of the adopted Wycombe District Local Plan (2019).
- By virtue of its size, siting, bulk and depth, the proposed two storey extension would appear unduly overbearing and unneighbourly, when viewed from within the adjacent dwelling at One Acre , thereby resulting in an unacceptable loss of residential amenity to the adjacent occupiers. As such, this proposal is contrary to Policies CP9 (sense of Place), DM35 (Placemaking and Design Quality) and DM36 (Extensions and Alterations to Existing Dwellings) of the adopted Wycombe District Local Plan (2019).
From the council's decision notice.
