Why it was refused

  1. By virtue of its scale and siting, the proposed garage would result in an overbearing, over dominant and oppressive form of development, causing unacceptable harm to the residential amenity of No.’s 205 and 207 Main Street. The development is therefore contrary to Policy DM10 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies DPD, Policy P3 (2) of the NPPF (2026), and the Good Design Guide.
  2. By virtue of its height, scale and overall cubic massing, the proposed garage would fail to appear subordinate to the main dwelling and would result in a visually incongruous form of development, causing harm to the character and appearance of the site and street scene. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy DM10 of the SADMP, Policy H5 of the emerging Neighbourhood Plan, the Good Design Guide and Policy DP1 of the NPPF (2026).

From the council's decision notice.
