Why it was refused

  1. The application site lies within the West Midlands Green Belt where only small scale additions or alterations to a dwelling are considered appropriate. The proposed extension, by virtue of its scale, massing and projection, would constitute a disproportionate addition over and above the size of the original dwelling. It therefore represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt, which is by definition harmful to its openness. The scheme would also cause additional harm to openness through the increased bulk and reduction in the visual gap above ground floor level between the property and the neighbouring dwelling. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated that would outweigh the harm arising from the inappropriateness of the development and the further harm caused to openness. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy Policy CS.10 and paragraphs 153 and 154 of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
