Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would, by reason of its height, scale, siting and design, be inconsistent with the form and shape of the existing dwelling which would adversely affect the character of the existing dwelling and visual amenity of the surrounding streetscene and would result in a loss of amenity to neighbouring occupiers to north. As such the proposal is considered contrary to policy DM5 of the Worthing Local Plan, the Council's SPG 'Extending or Altering Your Home' and the relevant paragraphs of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
