Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension would result in a substantial and disproportionate enlargement of the host dwelling that fails to appear visually subservient and which would unbalance the pair. The harm identified is compounded by the roof profile and fenestration of the extension, which does not reflect the roof pitch and window proportions of the incumbent dwelling. In addition, the proposed cladding to the front gable projection is not in keeping with the character and appearance of the area and dwelling. On that basis, therefore, the proposal cannot be seen to have regard for the context of the local built environment and does not exhibit a high standard of design that reinforces attractive qualities of local distinctiveness, contrary to Policy SP6 of the adopted Caerphilly County Borough Local Development Plan up to 2021 and the guidance contained in Supplementary Planning Guidance LDP7: Householder Developments.

From the council's decision notice.
