Why it was refused

  1. The design of the proposal is inappropriate within the context of the overall character of the main property. The size and mass of the structure also results in the development not appearing to be subordinate to the original dwelling. The application does not therefore comply with the relevant planning policies contained within the NPPF and local Core Strategy policies CS5 and CS6, and SAMDev Policy MD2.
