Why it was refused

  1. The proposed outbuilding, by virtue of its siting, height and proximity to the shared boundary with No. 237 Stourbridge Road, would breach the 45-degree guideline when measured from the nearest habitable room window at No. 237. The building's height of 3.5 metres to the ridge and its position approximately 0.5 metres from the boundary of No. 237 would result in an overbearing and oppressive form of development, adversely affecting an area of the garden regularly used by neighbouring occupiers. Collectively, these impacts would result in an unacceptable loss of light, outlook and residential amenity to the neighbouring occupants and be in contrary with Policy DM.25 of the Wyre Forest District Local Plan, the Design, Amenity and Shopfronts SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
