Why it was refused

  1. By virtue of its size, scale and prominent siting well forward of the principal elevation of the host dwelling, the proposed detached double garage would project significantly beyond the established building line along Barrington Road. The structure would interrupt the consistent open frontage and erode the spacious character that defines this part of the streetscene. As a result, the garage would appear visually intrusive, incongruous and at odds with the established character and appearance of the locality. The proposal therefore fails to respect the pattern of development and would cause demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Policy HQ/1 and H/13 of the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan 2018 and the design guidance set out within the South Cambridgeshire District Design Guide SPD (2010).

From the council's decision notice.
