Why it was refused
- The site is within the Green Belt and the proposed development is inappropriate development within the Green Belt where the harm, which is given substantial weight, is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, given the circumstances put forward do not justify overriding the presumption against inappropriate development in the Green Belt in this case. The proposal is therefore contrary to the requirements of Policy GB1 of the adopted South Staffordshire Core Strategy and the National Planning Policy Framework.
- The proposal would cause substantial demonstrable harm to the openness and permanence of the Green Belt, detrimentally impacting upon its essential characteristic, contrary to Policy GB1 of the adopted South Staffordshire Core Strategy and the National Planning Policy Framework.
- The proposed annexe outbuilding, by reasons of its excessive size, its prominent and awkward siting in the middle of the rear garden along with its incongruous design and layout, would be considered out of scale and character with the host dwelling and would fail to appear ancillary to the main dwelling. The proposed development would therefore harm the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the site and would fail to contribute positively to the rural character of the area; contrary to the requirements of Core Policy 4 and Policies EQ4 and EQ11 of the adopted South Staffordshire Core Strategy, the Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document and the National Planning Policy Framework.
