Why it was refused

  1. Given the bulk, layout, orientation and design of the proposed extension, the design would appear as an alien addition that detracts from the character and appearance of the dwelling. The proposed extension, by virtue of its design, scale bulk and massing, would fail to respect the character and appearance of the existing property. As such, the development would be contrary to Policies CP9, DM35 and DM36 of the Wycombe District Local Plan (Adopted August 2019), the Householder Planning and Design Guidance Supplementary Planning Document (Adopted January 2020) and Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024)

From the council's decision notice.
