Why it was refused

  1. By virtue of the substantial increase in height and massing in close proximity to the rear elevations and modest gardens of Nos. 27-30 Bingham Close, the proposal would appear overly dominant, resulting in an overbearing impact and increased overshadowing, and materially worsen the sense of enclosure experienced by neighbouring occupiers. The development would therefore cause unacceptable harm to residential amenity, contrary to Policies EN2 of the Cotswold District Local Plan, section 12 of the NPPF and Policy L4 of the Draft NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
