Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two-storey rear extension, by reason of its scale, form and design, would appear as an incongruous addition that would fail to respect the architectural character and form of the host dwelling and would not respond appropriately to the established pattern and built form of the surrounding area. The proposal would consequently result in harm to the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Policies 55 and 58 of the Cambridge Local Plan (2018) and Policy DP3 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2026).

From the council's decision notice.
