Why it was refused
- The position of the proposed building away from the host dwelling is considered to be unacceptable and would adversely impact upon the character of the rural setting and the surrounding open countryside. Notably, the proposed annexe would not be physically well-related to the host dwelling and with a separate vehicular access, separate parking provision and no shared amenity space associated with the host dwelling. As such, the proposed building would not be perceived as an ancillary building but an individual self-contained dwelling that would not represent a sustainable form of development and would be harmful to the character of the locality . The proposal is contrary to policies RA2, RA3, LD1, and SD1 of the Herefordshire Local Plan – Core Strategy, policy KTH1 of the Kingstone and Thruxton Group Neighbourhood Development Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
