Why it was refused
- The proposed dormer window by reason of its scale and design would result in a bulky and dominant addition to the roof from, which would be to the detriment of both visual amenity and the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The development would be out of scale and poorly related in design to the roof in which it is to be installed, resulting in a dominant feature within the roof, contrary to Chapter 12 of the NPPF, which requires good design and Policy BE14 of the Brentwood Local Plan.
From the council's decision notice.
