Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, due to the loss of existing architectural features and the disproportionate width and prominence of the side extension, will have a detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and is contrary to Policies JP-P1 and JP-P2 of Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan and Supplementary Planning Document `General Design Principles'.

From the council's decision notice.
