Why it was refused

  1. Reason: The proposals are not subservient to the main dwelling in terms of height nor depth. Further, the design of the proposals is not considered to adhere to the existing dwelling nor the surrounding street scene. As such, the proposals are not in accordance with criterion 1 of policy SP6 nor criteria 1 or 2 of policy HO8 of the Carlisle District Local Plan (2015-2030), nor the Achieving Well Designed Housing SPD. Further, in accordance with paragraph 49 of the National Planning Policy Framework, the emerging St Cuthbert’s Garden Village Local Plan which is currently at examination stage is afforded material weight. The proposal does not adhere to criteria 1 or 2 of policy DM7 of the emerging local plan. Overall, the proposal is not compliant with the relevant local plan policies, nor relevant policies in the emerging local plan

From the council's decision notice.
