Why it was refused

  1. The applicant has displayed the site notice for 13 days out of the 28 days from the date on which the local planning authority gave notice to the applicant of their decision that prior approval was required. By virtue of the applicant's failure to comply with condition A2. (2) (iv) (aa) to display a site notice by site display on or near the land on which the proposed development is to be carried out, leaving the notice in position for not less than 21 days in the period of 28 days from the date on which the local planning authority gave the notice to the applicant the development fails to be permitted development under the conditions of Class A of Part 6 to Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, as amended.
  2. Notwithstanding the above, as a consequence of the substantial scale and isolated siting of the proposed barn adjacent to a rural lane, this would result in the creation of a prominent and visually intrusive building that would fail to assimilate effectively with the verdant landscape to the detriment of the visual amenity of the area, in conflict with the provisions of policies SWDP 21 and SWDP 25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and Section 12 of the Framework which requires that the proposals should improve the character and quality of an area, contributing to and enhancing the natural and local environment by protecting and enhancing valued landscapes.

From the council's decision notice.
