About this application
This is a planning application for a two storey rear extension at Bonnys Row High Wych Hertfordshire CM21 0JU. East Hertfordshire has handled 13,484 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days, 7 days quicker than East Hertfordshire's typical decision time. The site is in 1 listed building nearby. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 67 applications across Much Hadham. We hold 1,438 applications in total for the CM21 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed development, cumulatively with existing development, would result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building and would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt. Other harm to the Green Belt is identified through loss of spatial and visual openness. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated to overcome this harm. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy GBR1 of the East Herts District Plan 2018 and Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.
From the council's decision notice.
