Why it was refused

  1. The proposed retrospective single storey and two storey rear extensions by reason of its excessive bulk, mass, size, scale, and design would result in an over-dominate and are unsympathetic addition to the host dwelling, to detriment of the appearance and character of the host property and local area. As such, the application does not overcome the previous reasons for reasons for refusal and the proposal fails to accord with Policies D3 and D4 the London Plan (2021), Policies 7.4 and 7.B of the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013), Policy DAA of Ealing's draft new Local Plan (Regulation 22), and Ealing's Housing Design Guidance (2023).
  2. The proposed development by reason of the insufficient bedroom sizes for Unit B and lack of privacy of the ground floor bedrooms of Unit A, and the overlooked amenity space, would fail to provide an acceptable level and quality of accommodation, to the detriment of the living conditions of future occupants.

From the council's decision notice.
