1) Impact on “the view”

Any addition to the built form is likely to impact the “view”.  If that view is part of an area of outstanding beauty, a conservation area, or the greenbelt then the case can be strong to refuse a planning application - particularly if that view is also from any public space.  

There are all sorts of exceptions that can allow new buildings in fields, in conservation areas, or on green-belt that are designed to encourage the continued use of the land as an open space.  Eg – the owner may be permitted to build changing-rooms that would allow field sports, or to stable horses.

If the view from the public space is largely unchanged, there are no special designations and if the area is already “residential” then this may not be a particularly strong argument that can prevent a planning permission being granted.  

Certainly, objections such as “it will reduce the value of my own property” will be ignored.
