Why it was refused

  1. The proposed detached garage, by virtue of its siting more than 5 metres from the host dwelling and forward of its principal elevation, would constitute inappropriate development within the Green Belt. The development would introduce a separate and substantial form of built development into an otherwise open part of the residential curtilage, resulting in spatial and visual harm to the openness and character of the Green Belt. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated which clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and the additional harm identified. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies GB6 and GB7 of the NPPF 2026 and policy CS.10 of the Stratford-on-Avon District Core Strategy (2011-2031) which aligns with the aforementioned national policies
  2. The proposed detached garage, by reason of its prominent siting forward of the principal elevation of the host dwelling, separation from the dwelling and scale, would introduce an incongruous and visually intrusive form of development within the frontage of the site. The prevailing pattern of development along this part of Broad Lane is characterised by dwellings set back from the highway with spacious and predominantly landscaped frontages, with no comparable detached garages or substantial outbuildings positioned forward of the surrounding dwellings. The proposal would consequently erode the established spacious character of the frontage and fail to respond positively to the prevailing pattern and character of Case Officer: Lindsey Young Reference No. 26/01310/FUL development within the streetscene. The development is therefore contrary to Policy L2:1(di) of the NPPF 2026 and policy CS.9 of the Stratford-on-Avon District Core Strategy (2011-2031) which aligns with the aforementioned national policies.

From the council's decision notice.
