Why it was refused

  1. The proposed roof extension and associated front rooflights, by reason of the excessive width, scale and dominant appearance of the rear dormer, together with excessive number of rooflights on the front roofslope, would fail to respect the established the established roofscape character of the host property and the wider St Mark's Church and Canal Conservation Area. The development would appear visually intrusive and out of keeping with the prevailing roofscape, causing harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the significance of the Conservation Area. As such, the proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and Policies D3, D4 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021), Policies 7.4, 7B and 7C of the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013), and Policy 1.1 of the Ealing Core Strategy (2012).

From the council's decision notice.
