Why it was refused

  1. The development would result in a detrimental impact to adjoining neighbours result in direct overlooking. Therefore, the proposal would be contrary to AA.2(3)(a)(i) of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) and National Planning Policy Framework 2024. Planning permission is therefore required.
  2. By reason of the design, size and appearance, the proposed additional storey results in an incongruous and inappropriate addition to the existing dwelling, harming the appearance of the dwelling and having a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the street scene of Orchard Road. The proposed development fails to comply with Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA, condition AA.2.(3)(a)(ii) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). Planning permission is therefore required.

From the council's decision notice.
