Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of inappropriate siting, would appear excessively, dominant and overbearing within an area characterised by greenery and openness and would result in an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the street scene and Sutton Farms Estate Area of Special Local Character. As such, the proposal would be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework and Policies 23, 28 and 30 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.

From the council's decision notice.
