Why it was refused

By virtue of the siting, height, length, and appearance of the proposed gate, wall and fencing and inadequate soft landscaping the proposal would have a significant adverse impact on the character and appearance of Breach Lane failing to complement or enhance the character or appearance of the site, surrounding area or countryside. Furthermore, the amendments would materially diminish the quality of the approved development. Therefore, the development is contrary to Policies DM4 and DM10 of the adopted Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document (2016), Policy 22 of the Earl Shilton and Barwell Area Action Plan (2014), the adopted Good Design Guide (2020) and paragraph 135 and 140 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
