Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of its increased scale, internal accommodation and provision of a third bedroom at first-floor level, would result in a form of development that is no longer clearly ancillary or subordinate to the main dwelling. The proposal would be tantamount to the creation of a separate and independent dwelling within the open countryside, failing to maintain a clear functional and physical relationship with the principal dwelling.
  2. The proposed development, by reason of its increased height, bulk, widened gable, and introduction of a prominent pitched roof form, would result in a building that appears disproportionate and visually dominant in relation to the host dwelling. The design and scale would lack cohesion with the established character and appearance of the main house and would form an incongruous and intrusive feature within the site and in wider public views. The proposal therefore fails to respect the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area and is contrary to HC8 criterion 2 and CP14 criterion 5 of the Stroud Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
