Why it was refused

  1. 1- The proposed garage building by virtue of its size and siting and the extension of the built form at the site would detract from the visual amenities of the rural character of the area. The proposed extension of the domestic garden at the site would also result in an arbitrary and unjustified encroachment into the open countryside which would also be visually detrimental to the rural character of the area. The proposals would therefore be contrary to East Staffordshire Local Plan Policies SP1, SP2, SP8, SP24, and DP1,Yoxall Neighbourhood Plan Policies H2, D1 and D2 and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
