Why it was refused

  1. As a result of the increase in glazing, amendments to the roof form and removal of the articulated design and traditional detailing, the proposed variation of condition would result in dwellinghouses of an increased visual massing and modern character which are unsympathetic to the surrounding countryside area. Likewise, the amendments to the garage roof form and construction and removal of traditional details, would also create an incongruous feature within this sensitive countryside area. These design amendments would also be unsympathetic to the nearby Cranborne Chase National Landscape, and the increase in glazing would increase 26/10085 light pollution, thereby undermining this sensitive International Dark Skies Reserve. As such, the proposal would be an incongruous feature failing to respond to local distinctiveness, and being of an inappropriate design, scale, and appearance for the rural character of the area. Therefore, the proposal is contrary to the provisions of Policy ENV3 and Policy STR2 of the adopted Local Plan 2016-2036 Part 1: Planning Strategy, Policy DM20 of the adopted Local Plan Part 2: Sites and Development Management, National Planning Policy Framework paragraph 189 and the Levelling Up and Regeneration Act (2023) section 245.

From the council's decision notice.
