Why it was refused

  1. The proposed dormer on the side (south-east) elevation is of poor design and would dominate the roof and dwellinghouse with a horizontal emphasis and no subservience to the property whatsoever. It would appear unattractive, bulky and be considered too much of an overbearing mass on the roofscape, contrary to Policy CS41 of the Core Strategy (2012), the Residential Design Guide (2008) and the relevant provisions of the NPPF (2024).
  2. The proposed design changes to the front elevation would include the provision of two new overly glazed balconies, one at the first floor and one at the second floor and would not integrate into the design of the existing dwellinghouse and therefore would be an unacceptable and dominating visual inclusion into the street scene, out of character with the immediate area, giving the impression of a three-storey dwellinghouse, contrary to Policy CS41 of the Core Strategy (2012), the Residential Design Guide (2008) and the relevant provisions of the NPPF (2024).
  3. The two balconies to the front elevation would overlook neighbouring front and rear gardens and front elevation windows. Furthermore, these large balconies and terraces would result in inappropriate nuisance noise and disturbance to the neighbouring occupants, contrary to Policy CS41 of the Core Strategy (2012), the Residential Design Guide (2008) and the relevant provisions of the NPPF (2024).
