Why it was refused

  1. By reason of its increased height, volume and floor area the building is materially larger than the one it replaced and as such would harm the openness of the West Midlands Green Belt. The proposal as such is contrary to paragraph 154 of the NPPF and Policy GB1 of the adopted Core Strategy.
  2. The Local Planning Authority has considered the reasons advanced, but does not consider that these reasons constitute the very special circumstances required to clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness.
  3. By reason of its design, scale and overly commercial appearance the proposed development is not considered to be in keeping with the character and appearance of the host dwelling. The increase building height and excessive bulk and massing create a disproportionate and incongruous addition to the application site. The proposed development is contrary to Policy EQ11 of the adopted Core Strategy.

From the council's decision notice.
