Why it was refused
- The proposal by reason of its design, scale and massing, results in a proposal that over dominates and fails to be subordinate. The disproportionate size and intrusive design would be a visually prominent and jarring addition which introduces an unacceptable built form, causing material harm to the openness and otherwise sparsely built environment in this rural location outside of a defined settlement boundary. As such the proposed development would be contrary to policy ENV12, HOUS6 and SUS2 of the Adopted West Dorset and Weymouth & Portland Local Plan and national decision making policy S5(c) of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
