Conditions / Reason for Refusal: Reasons for Refusal 01 The proposed outbuilding by virtue of its siting and appearance to the front of the property, would introduce an incongruous feature which would be clearly visible within the street scene and would be detrimental to the appearance of the host property and street scene in general. Furthermore, the proposed building would detrimentally affect the amenity of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties by reason of being over dominant and overbearing. As such the development is contrary to Local Plan policies CS28 ‘Sustainable Development’ and SP55 ‘Design Principles’, as well as the Council’s SPD Householder Design Guide’ and the NPPF.
