Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, as a consequence of its inappropriate scale and form, would result in a level of development which is neither sympathetic or subservient to the host dwelling and would fail to harmonise with the character of the dwellinghouse in terms of design. The proposed development would therefore fail to accord with policy SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016 and guidance contained within the South Worcestershire Design Guide SPD 2018 as well as Paragraph 135 of the Framework which seeks to promote high quality design.

From the council's decision notice.
