Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two-storey side extension would fail to respect the character and symmetry of the host dwelling and wider street scene by reason of its tall massing, lack of set down from the host dwelling's frontage and ridge line, and its eaves height being placed above that of the existing cat-slide roof. Due to these elements, the proposal would fail to respect the scale, proportions, form, details and the overall design and character of the host building, its curtilage and the broader street scene. The proposal is thus contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2024); Site Allocations and Development Management Policies (2014) DM26, DM27 and DM30; Core Strategy (2011) Policy BCS21; and Supplementary Planning Document 2 (2005).

From the council's decision notice.
