Why it was refused

  1. It is considered that the narrow footprint and forward projection of the proposed dwelling would appear cramped within the site. The position would also still result in a poor visual relationship with the host property and the adjacent houses, resulting in an inharmonious development within the context of the site and street scene, as opposed to a high quality infill development. The proposed development is considered to be contrary to East Staffordshire Local Plan Policies SP1, SP24 and DP1, the East Staffordshire Design Guide and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
