Why it was refused

  1. The outbuilding, when considered alongside existing single and two-storey rear extensions, results in a cramped form of development. Its disproportionate scale, poor integration with the host dwelling, and use of materials which are out of keeping with the materials of construction of the host dwelling and surrounding properties causes harm to visual amenity. Furthermore, the linear and visually dominant relationship with the extended dwelling is out of character with the area.

From the council's decision notice.
