Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes inappropriate ribbon development, fails to meet minimum site size and biodiversity requirements, and features a visually dominant design that does not integrate with the landscape.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development would extend an existing pattern of ribbon development and create an unsuitable infill site on a village approach road, hindering orderly settlement growth.
- The application failed to demonstrate compliance with mandatory minimum site size standards and the required 20% allocation for tree planting and biodiversity measures.
- The proposed use of black composite wall materials and black corrugated roofing is visually intrusive, fails to blend into the landscape, and would set an undesirable precedent.
