About this application

This is a planning application for a side extension at 35 Meyrick Road Ely Cardiff CF5 4RN. Cardiff has handled 6,384 applications of this type. This one was decided in 49 days. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 1,880 applications in total for the CF5 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. By reason of its substantial width, scale, massing and excessive eaves height, limited setback from the principal elevation, prominent front-facing pitched-roof dormers and poorly articulated garage frontage, the proposed extension would fail to appear subordinate to the host dwelling and would disrupt the balanced appearance of the semi-detached pair. The development would consequently appear unduly bulky, visually discordant and incongruous, causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the wider street scene. The proposal is therefore contrary to the placemaking and good-design principles of Planning Policy Wales, Policy KP5 of the Cardiff Local Development Plan 2006-2026 and the Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Guidance.

From the council's decision notice.
