Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension, by virtue of its material pallet fails to positively reflect the original nature of this converted agrarian building and reads as an inappropriate 'domestic styled' addition that doesn't reflect an appropriate addition to this rural building. The use of PVCu is considered unsympathetic and out of character with overriding rural vernacular and fails to respect the original use of the barn. The application is therefore contrary to Policies CP3 and BE1 of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy, the Lichfield Design Code, the Rural Design SPD and Policies contained within the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
