Why it was refused
- The proposed development is contrary to planning policies in the adopted Local Plan, in that it would result in disproportionate additions to the original dwelling and is therefore unacceptable development in the Open Countryside, contrary to Policy OC1 of the adopted Core Strategy.
- The Local Planning Authority has considered the reasons advanced but does not consider these reasons justify a departure from Policy OC1 of the Core Strategy.
- The proposed garage extension to include first floor accommodation, by reason of its prominent forward siting, its excessive height, depth, bulk, mass and complex roof design, is considered over-dominant and out-of-keeping with the scale, design and character of the existing dwelling. The proposal would therefore be harmful to the character and appearance of the existing dwelling, contrary to the aims of the NPPF, Policy EQ11 of the Core Strategy and the South Staffordshire Design Guidance SPD, which, fundamentally, seek to ensure that all extensions are 'subservient to the main building' and 'fit in with the character and form of the existing building'. The proposal also fails to contribute positively to the rural character of the area, contrary to Policies EQ4, Core Policy 4 and EQ11 of the Core Strategy.
From the council's decision notice.
