Why it was refused
- Insufficient and ambiguous information regarding tree protection measures have been provided to demonstrate that the proposed development would not cause undue harm to the high amenity specimen Tulip tree and in turn, the visual amenity of the area. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy EQ4 of the adopted Core Strategy which states that 'The intrinsic rural character and local distinctiveness of the South Staffordshire landscape should be maintained and where possible enhanced. Trees, veteran trees, woodland, ancient woodland and hedgerows should be protected from damage and retained unless it can be demonstrated that removal is necessary and appropriate mitigation can be achieved'.
- The proposed gym outbuilding, by reason of its contemporary design, facing materials, excessive scale, footprint and prominent siting behind a boundary wall of increased height as a result of the proposal, would be out of scale and character with the existing dwelling and would not appear ancillary to the main dwelling. The proposed gym outbuilding would therefore be harmful to the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the street scene, contrary to Policy EQ11 of the adopted Core Strategy, the South Staffordshire Design Guide SPD and the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
