Why it was refused

  1. The proposed garden store is considered to be visually dominant on the streetscene and out of keeping with site location context as a result of its siting at the front of the property. Therefore, the proposal is considered to be contrary to Policy CS8.10 of the South Lakeland Core Strategy and Policy DM2 of the Development Management Policies Development Plan Document.
  2. The proposed development would result in unacceptable levels of car parking at the property due to the loss of the off-street parking space. As such, the proposal is considered contrary to Policy DM9 of the Development Management Policies Development Plan Document.

From the council's decision notice.
