Why it was refused

  1. The wider field within which the site is located is a hedged pasture, as identified by the Test Valley Borough Landscape Character Assessment (2004 updated 2018) (TVBLCA). The TVBCLA identifies that such spaces should be protected and enhanced, avoiding intrusive development. The proposed enclosure would result in the physical demarcation of the site introducing uncharacteristic compartmentalisation of the wider field and the subsequent erosion of its open character as viewed from the adjacent public right of way. These impacts would result in harm to the character of both the wider field and the surrounding landscape character as identified within the TVBCLA contrary to Policy E2 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan 2016 and Policy EL P7 of the Over Wallop Neighbourhood Development Plan 2024.
  2. The proposals result in development in the countryside for which there is no overriding need contrary to Policy COM2(b) of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan 2016.

From the council's decision notice.
