Why it was refused

  1. The proposed first floor extension by way of its scale and crown roof element would result in a dominant, bulky, incongruous, and disproportionate addition to the existing dwelling which would be to the detriment of both the visual amenity and the character and appearance of the surrounding area contrary to Policy BE14 of the adopted Brentwood Local Plan as well as the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
