Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would have an unacceptably harmful effect on the character and appearance of the CA, by virtue of unbalancing the plan form and eroding the character of the host property. Consequently, in that regard, it would not therefore accord with Policy DP5 of the East Staffordshire Local Plan 2015, the Ellastone Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Paragraphs 207, 210, 212 and 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024. This application is refused by the under signed under powers delegated by the Borough Council in accordance with the provisions of Section 101 of the Local Government Act 1972.

From the council's decision notice.
