Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by reason of its siting, scale and domestic nature, would fail to respect or integrate with the character of the landscape setting. It would erode the site’s openness, extend built form beyond the defined settlement edge and encroach into the countryside, resulting in material harm to landscape character and visual amenity, contrary to Policy SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and Paragraph 187 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
