Why it was refused

  1. The cumulative visual impact of the balcony, pergola, boundary treatments and extensive hard surfacing results in a form of development which does not respect and acknowledge the character and identity of the locality in terms of design, siting, size, scale and materials used appearance and detracts from the host property, the wider street scene and from the visual amenity of the area. It is therefore considered to be contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone, Core Strategy Policy OA1 and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
