Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development is considered unacceptable as the previous scheme, which remains extant was at the margin of acceptability in terms of the scale of the alterations that were approved. The addition of a large extension beyond that of the previously approved scheme further increases the scale and massing of the property in a way that fails to respect the character or appearance of the original dwelling as well as the wider area. Furthermore, The proposal would result in a development that is wholly disproportionate when viewed within the context of the existing dwelling and as such represents a significant alteration to the character of the immediate site, setting and its status within the wider landscape context. The proposal is therefore considered to run contrary to policies SD1 and LD1 of the Herefordshire Core Strategy.

From the council's decision notice.
