Why it was refused

  1. The development fails to respect the design, character and form of the host dwelling and would appear as a visually jarring addition within the prevailing street scene. As such, the proposal is contrary to policies which seek to secure high quality design and development that responds positively to its context. For the reasons set out, the proposal would have an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area. As such it fails to comply with the relevant provisions of Policies SP24, DP1 & DP3 of the East Staffordshire Local Plan and Paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework which, amongst other things, requires development to be of high-quality design that compliments the style of the existing dwelling and surrounding area. 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.
