Why it was refused

  1. The proposed dormers would, due to their design, scale and siting, be detrimental to the character and appearance of the application property and area. The proposal is contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan and Supplementary Planning Document - "House Extensions".

From the council's decision notice.
