Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development has not considered the character of the locality in terms of design, scale and surrounding vernacular. As such, by virtue of its scale, height and massing, the proposed garage and wall fail to maintain local distinctiveness of the area. Therefore, the proposed development fails to respond to the context of the setting and would not reinforce a positive contribution to the distinctive appearance and character of the area and wider landscape. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policies SD1 and LD1 of the Herefordshire Local Plan and policy PD3 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposed development represents unacceptable harm to the amenity and privacy of nearby properties. This is due to the relative proximity in addition to the topography which affords Copperfields an elevated and dominant position; the proposed development would result in a structure which is clearly overbearing and runs significant risk of overlooking due to this elevated position and its relative proximity. The proposal therefore fails to comply with policy SD1 of the Herefordshire Local.

From the council's decision notice.
