Why it was refused
- The development, by virtue of its siting, scale and appearance, would appear unduly dominant within the street scene and would not accord with the prevailing character of the street scene which is characterised by low level, open and verdant boundary treatments. By virtue of its prominent appearance, the development would result in harm to the character and appearance of the street scene. Therefore, the development conflicts with the NPPF 2024, policy SADM30 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Polices Plan (2016) and policy CS22 of Hertsmere's Core Strategy (2013).
From the council's decision notice.
