Why it was refused

  1. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed part single, part two-storey side extension and front flat roofed extension, as a result of their mass, bulk, design and form, will result in a design that is unduly bulky, incongruous and alien in appearance which is not subservient to the existing dwelling and that would be detrimental to the character and appearance of both the dwelling and the surrounding area. Mindful of this local context, the erection of extensions of the proposed form and style fail to achieve a high quality of design, are inappropriate in scale, form and layout, and would fail to contribute positively to the character and appearance of the area. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policies CP9 (Sense of Place), DM35 (Placemaking and Design Quality) and DM36 (Extensions and Alterations to Existing Dwellings) of the Wycombe District Local Plan (adopted 2019), the Householder Planning and Design Guidance SPD (2020), and the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).

From the council's decision notice.
