Why it was refused

  1. The provision of 5no. self-build/custom-build dwellings at this site do not take into account the surrounding context; the proposals would extend built form further into the countryside altering the existing character to one with a more urban appearance, and the cul-de-sac arrangement would not reflect the established pattern of development or reflect the distinctiveness of the locality. Having regard to the current shortfall of self and custom build plots, the harm identified is not outweighed by the benefit of providing 5no. self-build/custom-build dwellings. As such, the proposed development is contrary to the provisions of Policies CS.5 and CS.9 of the Stratford-on-Avon District Core Strategy 2011-2031 and Policies H.06 and H.10 of the Harbury and Deppers Bridge Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018-2031.

From the council's decision notice.
