Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in the permanent loss of land designated as Amenity Open Space, contrary to Policies L2 and L3 of Plan:MK 2019. The application fails to demonstrate a surplus of open space in the locality, does not provide compensatory provision of equivalent or greater size and quality, and would introduce built infrastructure that fundamentally undermines the open character and function of the site. The proposal would also set a harmful precedent for similar developments within the locality, eroding the integrity of the open space network as a recreational resource and experience of its users.
  2. The proposed development, due to its utilitarian design and siting (including within a designated amenity open space), would result in a visually incongruous feature that harms the open and landscaped character of the area. The introduction of built infrastructure into this prominent and visually open space fails to respond appropriately to the site context, does not create a positive sense of place, and does not respect or enhance the local environment. The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies D1, D2 and D3 of Plan:MK 2019.

From the council's decision notice.
