Why it was refused
- The proposed dwelling, as a result of its sitting, scale, mass and design, would fail to provide a contextual appropriate development and would introduce an incongruous, overly dominant and prominent dwelling, to the detriment of the prevailing rural character of Rossmill Lane. The proposed development fails to comply with Policy JP-P1 of the Places for Everyone Plan, the adopted SPD7: Trafford Design Code and the National Planning Policy Framework in terms of design and appearance.
From the council's decision notice.
