Why it was refused

  1. By reason of its height, scale and form, the proposed outbuilding would result in a visually intrusive development which would appear cramped within its setting which would erode the spatial characteristics of the site to the detriment of the character and appearance of the area and distinctive tranquil garden space. The proposal would also create an unduly prominent feature and would be an intrusive form of development which would have an adverse impact upon the street scene and fail to be well-integrated with the existing settlement pattern. As such it would be contrary to Policy ENV 3 of the Local Plan 2016 -2036 Part 1: Planning Strategy for the New Forest District outside the New Forest National Park and Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework and Ringwood Neighbourhood plan and Ringwood Local Distinctiveness SPD.

From the council's decision notice.
