Why it was refused

  1. The size and scale of the proposed carport due to its prominent location at the front of the application site would result in an overbearing and incongruous form of development within the streetscene, out of character with the open frontages prevalent in this location. Therefore, the proposal would result in a harmful visual impact upon the character of the area, failing to comply with Policy DM2 (Design Quality for New Development) of the Island Plan Core Strategy and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
