Why it was refused
- Due to the scale, materials and design of the proposed building it will appear very prominent and obtrusive within the street scene and will be out of character with the traditional character of the Victorian dwellings, contrary to policy BD/3 of the West Somerset Local Plan and paragraph 135 a), b) and c) of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
