Why it was refused

  1. Part 6 Schedule 2, Part 6 A2(2)(a)(i) of the Town & Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) (Amended) Order 2015 allows The Local Planning Authority to determine whether prior approval will be required as to the siting, design and external appearance of the building. The proposed building occupies a remote position away from other buildings in the surrounding vicinity, without clear justification, and is viewed have a detrimental impact on the rural landscape by virtue of its siting, contrary to Policy LD1 of the Herefordshire Local Plan – Core Strategy.

From the council's decision notice.
