Why it was refused
- By virtue of the scale, design and siting, the additional storey would result in harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding street scene. The proposal is contrary to Policies CS11, CS12 of the Core Strategy and Saved Appendix 7 of the Dacorum Borough Local Plan.
From the council's decision notice.
