Why it was refused
- The proposed development by reason of its height, design and siting would result in an overbearing structure capable of an unacceptable impact to the visual amenity of the area and cause significant harm through loss of privacy for surrounding neighbouring properties. The proposed development would therefore fail to comply with policies GD1, EN27 and HG10 of the Wealden Local Plan 1998, SPO13 and WCS14 of the Core Strategy 2013, Chapter 3, paragraphs 18.1 and 18.4, Chapter 5, paragraphs 7.3 and 7.7, Chapter 5, part 8, Chapter 10, part 2, paragraph 2.7 of the Wealden Design Guide 2008, coupled with the guidance contained within the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
