Why it was refused

  1. The proposal, when considered alongside the existing separate self-contained 2.no bed annexe and the modest size of the main dwelling, would cumulatively give rise to the appearance of three separate residential units on site, which would appear as overdevelopment, creating a prominent and incongruent feature within the locality. Accordingly, the development would fail to contribute positively to the character of the local area, failing to respect the scale of the spaces and buildings surrounding it, contrary to Policy EQ11 of the adopted core strategy and the adopted Village Design Guide.

From the council's decision notice.
