Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by virtue of its position, design, size and scale, would appear as a bulky and incongruous addition to the site and would fail to be read as a subservient addition to the original dwellinghouse. The proposed development would detract from the main house and harm the character and appearance of the area, failing to represent a high design quality, contrary to Policy SWDPR05, SWDPR09, SWDPR28 and SWDPR33 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review and the South Worcestershire Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document.
From the council's decision notice.
