Why it was refused

  1. The principle of the proposed replacement dwellings is contrary to CS.20 and AS.10 of the Core Strategy and BE9 of the NDP, as they would not be sited in existing lawful curtilage, would be significantly larger than the existing buildings and would cause inappropriate visual and landscape harm by reason of their scale and layout. The principle of new market housing is contrary to the requirements of CS.15 and AS.10 of the Core Strategy, H1 of the NDP as well as paragraphs 83 and 117 of the NPPF.
  2. By reason of the significant scale and extension of residential development into the undeveloped countryside through the insensitive proposed layout, scale and mass, the proposal would result in a harmful encroachment into the rural and verdant landscape and would be detrimental to the character of the area and the Upper Avon segment of the Avon Valley Character Area, contrary to the requirements of CS.5, CS.12, CS.20 and AS.10 of the Core Strategy and NDP Policies BE2, BE6 and BE9 and paragraph 187 of the NPPF.
  3. The proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the adjacent Grade II Listed Buildings, as a result of the harmful encroachment into the open countryside, diminishing the historic agrarian setting of the buildings, Case Officer: Joshua Cooper Reference No. 25/03100/FUL whilst also being more visually competitive and dominant, and interrupting views of and around the Grade II Listed Buildings. The proposed development would not accord with Policy CS.8 of the Core Strategy, Policies BE6 and BE8 of the Neighbourhood Development Plan, and paragraphs 210 and 215 of the NPPF.
