Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by reason of its height, size and siting would cause harm to the visual and spatial openness of the Metropolitan Green Belt, resulting in inappropriate development and therefore contrary to the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework and Policy GBR1 of the East Herts District Plan 2018.
  2. The size, form and design of the proposal in relation to the main dwelling is not considered to be subservient to the main dwelling. The proposed extension would be in a visible position from the street and would not appear as a subservient addition to the main dwelling. The proposal does not meet the criteria outlined in Policies HOU11 and DES4 of the East Herts District Plan 2018.
  3. Due to the absence of a full bat survey, it is not possible to determine whether, or not, there would be an adverse impact on a European Protected Species (roosting bats). As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy NE3 of the East Herts District Plan 2018.

From the council's decision notice.
