Why it was refused

  1. Design and Heritage By reason of the altered roof form, including the raised eaves line aligning with the principal elevation such that the roof no longer reads as subservient, together with the scale, siting and prominence of the proposed side dormer and the use of unsympathetic materials, the development would result in an incongruous and visually dominant roofscape. The proposal would erode the architectural hierarchy and established character of the host dwelling and would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. The identified harm amounts to less than substantial harm and is not outweighed by any public benefits. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the National Planning Policy Framework 2024, and Policies BCS21, BCS22, DM26, DM27, DM30 and DM31 of the Bristol Development Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
