Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of its design, siting, scale and loss of historic stone walling will be out of keeping and harmful to the host dwelling and the street scene which in turn harms the setting of The Black Horse. The proposal is therefore not in accordance with policy CS5 of the North Somerset Core Strategy, policy DM4 of the Sites and Policies Plan (Part 1), section 16 of the NPPF and section 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
