Why it was refused

  1. The proposed outbuilding, by reason of its excessive scale, footprint, height, form and design, would fail to appear as a subordinate and incidental structure to the host dwelling. The building would be comparable in size to the dwelling itself and would have the appearance of a separate residential unit rather than a domestic outbuilding. As a result, the development would appear incongruous within the site and would fail to respect the character of the dwelling and its surroundings.

From the council's decision notice.
