Why it was refused

  1. Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A A.2 (2)(a)(i) of the Town & Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) (Amended) Order 2015 (as amended) allows the Local Planning Authority to determine whether the prior approval of the authority will be required as to the siting, design and external appearance of the building. By virtue of its proposed siting and external appearance, it is viewed that the building would occupy a remote and isolated position within open countryside which is without justification and would have a detrimental impact upon the rural, intrinsic beauty of the landscape and character and appearance of the area, including, but not limited to, adverse harm to the Lowland Farmlands landscape character type and visual amenities of the area. The proposal would be contrary to Herefordshire Local Plan - Core Strategy Policies SS6, SD1 and LD1, Policies B6, B7, B14 and B15 of the Breinton Neighbourhood Development Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
