Why was this refused?

Visual impact from main road resembling new dwelling
Scale and form too large for modest garage
Cavity wall construction and first floor space
High Landscape Value zoning
Rural character preservation
Precedent from prior refused garage

The site is the curtilage of Ballalonna Farm, a rural farm complex south of the main road in Dalby, containing multiple dwellings from prior approvals including barn conversions and farmhouse renovation.

Refusal Reasons

✗It is considered that the form and size of the building is overly large and create the impression that an additional dwelling has been constructed in this rural location, rather than a modest garage of a size and design that would maintain the character of the area.
