About this application
This is a planning application for a dormer extension at 1 Martin Street Brighouse HD6 1DA. Calderdale has handled 4,701 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 198 applications in total for the HD6 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed front dormers by virtue of their collective size, scale, massing and use of inappropriate materials would result in a poor-quality design and would be read as a dominant and incongruous addition to the dwellinghouse. The materials proposed would be at odds in its setting by virtue of not matching with its surroundings. The rear dormer could not be considered to represent a subservient addition to the rear roofslope as it would add excessive massing to the dwelling. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policy BT1 of the Calderdale Local Plan, guidance as set out under the Placemaking and Design Guide SPD and Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
