Why it was refused

  1. The application site lies in the southeast Dorset Green Belt. The cumulative scale of the existing extensions and outbuildings serving the dwelling, combined with the proposed extensions to the house, render the scheme a disproportionate increase in size of the original dwelling, to the detriment of the openness and permanence of the Green Belt. In addition, the proposed extensions to the front, rear and side (west) of the house would result in a greater spatial and visual impact on the openness of the Green Belt due to the increased footprint, mass, bulk and height. The bulkier first-floor additions in particular would be visible in local and wider views of the site, substantially reducing the visual openness, and resulting in a more harmful encroachment of the residential development into the countryside than that of the existing dwelling.

From the council's decision notice.
