Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extensions, by virtue of their domestic design and form, would fail to respect the existing form and layout of the storage building, particularly given the buildings setting within the surrounding rural landscape. The resulting building would have an unacceptable impact on the special character of Monmouthshire's landscape and would fail to harmonise with the wider rural setting. The development is therefore contrary to Policies LC5 and DES1 (c) of the Monmouthshire Local Development Plan.
  2. The proposed timber gate and close-boarded fence would, by virtue of their height, design and visibility from the public highway and public right of way, introduce prominent and incongruous features into the open countryside, resulting in unacceptable harm to the rural character and appearance of the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DES1(c), LC1 and LC5 of the Monmouthshire Local Development Plan.
