Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, taken together with the previous extensions, would cumulatively result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building, and would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt. The proposal would also result in further harm by loss of openness. Very special circumstances have not been demonstrated to outweigh this harm. The proposal is contrary to Policy GBR1 of the East Herts District Plan (2018) and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposed development by reason of its size, scale and design would appear overly dominant and would fail to represent a subservient addition to the existing dwelling. The proposed development would fail to reflect the character and appearance of the area and the dwelling, contrary to Policies DES4 and HOU11 of the East Herts District Plan 2018 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
