Why it was refused

  1. The proposed increase in height would result in a dwelling that fails to respect the prevailing character, scale, and appearance of nearby properties. The proposal is considered contrary to Policy HC1 (criterion 1) and Policy CP14 (criterion 5) of the Stroud District Local Plan (2015) and Policy SD1 of the Slimbridge Neighbourhood Plan (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
