Why it was refused

  1. The development as constructed is not in accordance with the plans approved under RB2024/0237 and results in an outbuilding of significantly greater height and visual prominence. The increased ridge height introduces an incongruous feature that is harmful to the character and appearance of the streetscene and results in an overbearing and unacceptable impact on neighbouring residential amenity. The proposal therefore conflicts with the NPPF, Local Plan Policies CS28 and SP55, and the adopted Householder Design Guide SPD.

From the council's decision notice.
