Why it was refused

  1. The application site is within the Metropolitan Green Belt and it is considered that the cumulative effect of the proposed and previous extensions would result in a disproportionate addition over and above the size of the original dwelling, therefore constituting innapropriate development which is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt. Very special circumstances were not found to exist which would outweigh the harm to the Green Belt. Consequently, the proposed development would conflict with CS5 of the Core Strategy (2013) and paragraph 154 c) of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
  2. The scale, siting and design of the proposed extension is considered to harm the historic and architectural significance of the non designated heritage asset. The extension is also considered to result in less than substantial harm to Tring Conservation Area with no public benefits to outweigh this harm. The dwelling known as Thrift Cottage has been significantly extended such that the proposed extension will prejudice the orignal building's historic core being legible and erode the obvious gap/link at first floor and roof level which allows the pool building to be read as a later addition to the original dwelling. Therefore the proposal is not considered to preserve or enhance the setting, distinctiveness and significance of the non designated heritage asset or the Tring Conservation Area. As such, the proposal is not in accordance with Policy CS27 of the Core Strategy (2013), the NPPF (2024), Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and the Dacorum Local Plan (2004).

From the council's decision notice.
