Plans for four-bedroom home rejected over 'significant scale' |
Planners for Broadland District Council labelled the proposals as out of character due to the "significant scale" of the four-bedroom home.
Stephen Foster, the applicant behind the plans, wanted to build the two-storey house on land off Wroxham Road, near the Green Man pub.
The land earmarked for the home is situated next to a group of homes north of Rackheath Industrial Site.
He proposed to build the property with a double garage and designs that "carefully matched" the nearby houses.
He wrote in his plans: "Materials will include red brick walls and pitched tile roofs, consistent with the local vernacular."
But council officials ruled Mr Foster's designs would appear "as a dominant feature within the cluster of existing development that are modest in scale and mass".
They added in their refusal report: "In particular, the ratio of the building footprint to the plot size would not be consistent with that of nearby properties."
