Why it was refused

  1. The outbuilding and associated foundations will have a detrimental effect on the protected large mature off-site Oak to the east of the site (TPO 0368/1988)as well as other smaller trees within the site which are protected by a woodland TPO 1369/2010. It will require the removal trees and hedgerow plants that have been planted as part of the approved landscape plan of consent 230283. Also, no arboricultural information has been submitted. The proposed development conflicts with policies CP1 and CP3 of the Core Strategy and MDD Local Plan policy CC03 and TB21.

From the council's decision notice.
