22/01435/B — Refusal Reasons

• •Overall whilst the proposal would comply with a majority of Housing Policy 11, the proposal fails on a major part and does not comply with Housing Policy part (d) and sub paragraph (a), as the proposal is seeking to add an unsympathetic extension to the proposal which is inappropriate in terms of its design, mass and appearance. The proposed extension would have an adverse impact on the existing structure which is a traditional barn, especially when accounting the fact that views are likely of the proposal when traveling South to North. Ultimately the proposal falls down upon Housing Policy 11 and would also fail to comply with Environment Policy 1 of the Strategic Plan 2016.
