Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by reason of the siting, scale and design of the front dormer, would appear as an incongruous and visually intrusive addition that would disrupt the simple and uniform roofscape, causing harm to the character and appearance of the street scene. In addition, the rear dormer, by introducing elevated rear and side facing windows, would result in an unacceptable loss of privacy to the occupiers of No. 35 Edgbaston Drive and neighbouring properties. The development is therefore contrary to Chapter 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy ST33 of the Bassetlaw Local Plan, and Section 4.29 of the Householder Extensions Supplementary Planning Document.
From the council's decision notice.
