Why it was refused

  1. The site is located within the Bristol/Bath Green Belt and the proposal does not fall within the limited categories of development normally considered appropriate within the Green Belt as the extension is considered to be disproportionate. In addition, the works would result in a minor loss of openness of the Bristol/Bath Greenbelt. The proposal is therefore contrary to the provisions of Policy CS5 and CS34 of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan: Core Strategy (Adopted) December 2013; Policy PSP7 of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan: Policies, Sites and Places Plan (adopted November 2017) and the National Planning Policy Framework
  2. The proposed side extension by reason of its scale and massing would result in a significant change in character of the host dwelling that would result in an overly bulky and dominant side extension. The result of this, is an extension which would appear incongruous and overly dominant in this semi-rural location. The development would not reach the highest standard of design and site planning and therefore fails to accord with CS1 of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan: Core Strategy (Adopted) December 2013; PSP1 and PSP38 of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan: Policies Sites and Places Plan (Adopted) November 2017 and the guidance contained within the Householder Design Guide SPD (Adopted) March 2021.
