Why it was refused

  1. The retrospectively proposed development, by virtue of its scale, form, massing, height and expanse along the boundary, creates a dominant, imposing, oppressive and unrelenting feature which lacks visual relief and has an adverse impact upon the visual and residential amenity of the area. Refusal would therefore be in line with Policy 14(c) of National Planning Framework 4, which states that development proposals that are poorly designed and detrimental to the amenity of the surrounding area will not be supported. Furthermore, approval would be contrary to Policies 14(a)+(b) and 16(g) of National Planning Framework 4, Policies 1A and 1B(c) and 17(c) of Perth and Kinross Local Development Plan 2 and Perth & Kinross Council's Placemaking Guide, which seek to ensure that development contributes positively to the quality of the surrounding built environment in terms of scale, form, massing, design, proportions and appearance, in order to respect the character and amenity of the place. Justification The proposal is not in accordance with the Development Plan and there are no material reasons which justify departing from the Development Plan. Furthermore, the submitted drawings do not accurately represent the as-built development.

From the council's decision notice.
