Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, due to its excessive size, scale, and resultant bulk and massing, together with its poor and contrived design, would represent an unacceptable form of development, which would be visually dominating and unsympathetic to the character and appearance of the host dwelling. It would also result in a visually intrusive and prominent form of development given the elevated position of the dwelling within the streetscene. Therefore, the proposed works are in conflict with Saved Policies DC19 and EN27 of the Wealden Local Plan (1998), and the Wealden Design Guide 2008, Chapter 10, section 2 and 3. The excessive scale of the proposed development and poor design would also result in a failure to conserve and enhance the High Weald National Landscape, contrary to Saved Policy EN6 of the Wealden Local Plan (1998) and paragraph 189 of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
