Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would appear as an unduly prominent feature within the street scene as a result of the garages width, height, and roof design and the extensive expanse of hardstanding, which is considered to be harmful to the character of the street scene. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policy EQ 6 of the High Peak Borough Council Local Plan (2016), which requires proposals to be well designed and of a high quality that responds positively to its environment, whilst also contributing to local distinctiveness and sense of place. Additionally the proposal conflicts with design guidance contained within the Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Documents, particularly with regards to the design and scale of the garage. The proposal also conflicts with Policies DP3(1) and DP3(3) of the NPPF (August 2026) which seek to integrate well designed development into their surroundings to enhance the area.
  2. The proposed garage is considered to be harmful to the amenity of the occupiers of No.24 School Road by virtue of impacting their enjoyment of their private outdoor amenity

From the council's decision notice.
