Why it was refused

  1. The proposed garage outbuilding would result in inappropriate development within the Green Belt, harmful by definition and contrary to Policy GB1 of the Core Strategy and the underlying priniciples of the NPPF. In accordance with national policy, such harm carries substantial weight. The applicant has failed to advance the very special circumstances required to clearly overcome the harm by reason of inappropriateness
  2. The proposed detached garage would, as a result of its size, design, scale and location to the front of the existing dwelling and beyond the building line established, represent a prominent and intrusive feature in the local street scene, detrimental to the character of the area and contrary to policy EQ11 of the adopted Core Strategy.

From the council's decision notice.
