Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would be significantly larger than the original property and the scale of the extension coupled with its visibility would materially increase the impact of the dwelling on the appearance of the surrounding area and as such the proposal would be considered to fail to comply with Local Plan Policies HOU6 and ENV8.
  2. The proposal is also considered to be contrary to Local Plan Policy ENV 7 by reason of the increased visual impact of the proposal on the setting of the Grade I listed All Saints Church. This Decision refers only to that required under the Town and Country Planning Acts and does not include any consent or approval under any other enactment, bylaw, order or regulation.

From the council's decision notice.
