Why it was refused

  1. As set out under policies SD1 and LD1 of the Herefordshire Core Strategy, all proposals should take into account the local context and site characteristics. Moreover, development should be designed to maintain local distinctiveness through incorporating local architectural detailing and materials and respecting scale, height, proportions and massing of surrounding development. In this case the proposal would represent a significant addition, and in doing so fails to respect the modest scale and character of the original dwelling. Furthermore, The proposal would result in a development that is 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. In this regard, the proposed development fails to accord with policies SD1 or LD1 of the Herefordshire Local Plan – Core Strategy and policy K6 of the Kimbolton Neighbourhood Development Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
