Why it was refused
- By virtue of its height and length, the proposal would result in a boundary treatment that is disproportionate in scale and out of keeping with the size and massing of boundary treatments within the immediate area. On that basis, therefore, the proposal cannot be seen to have regard for the context of the local built environment and does not exhibit a high standard of design that reinforces attractive qualities of local distinctiveness, contrary to Policy SP6.
From the council's decision notice.
