Why it was refused
- The proposed two-storey side extension and attic conversion, by reason of its scale, form and design, including the increase in eaves and ridge height, the shifting of the ridgeline, the limited set back from the principal elevation, and the introduction of large, dominant dormer structures, would result in a poorly integrated and visually discordant addition to the host dwelling. The proposal would fail to appear subordinate to the existing property and would create an unbalanced and incongruous form of development that would detract from the character and appearance of the dwelling and the wider street scene. Furthermore, the size, siting and design of the proposed dormers, together with the unsatisfactory and irregular fenestration arrangement, would appear overly prominent and visually intrusive, particularly on the northeastern elevation which is highly visible within the street scene. As such, the development fails to achieve a high standard of design and does not reinforce local distinctiveness, contrary to Policy SP6 (Criterion B) and Policy LDP7 (Householder Development) of the Caerphilly County Borough Local Development Plan.
- The submitted drawings contain inaccuracies, including the incorrect depiction of the existing roof pitch and fenestration arrangements. As a result, it has not been adequately demonstrated that the proposed development would be acceptable in terms of its scale, proportions and overall appearance. This lack of clarity prevents a full and proper assessment of the visual impact of the development and weighs against the proposal, contrary to the requirement for high quality design under Policy SP6 and Policy LDP7 of the Caerphilly County Borough Local Development Plan.
