Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear extension, by reason of its scale and location, would result in a visually dominant addition that would be readily visible from the street scene and would not be subservient to the host dwelling. Furthermore, the size and location of the proposal would disproportionately unbalance the symmetry of with the neighbouring property at No 59 Revels Road, and more widely disrupt the rhythm of the row of the semi-detached dwellings. The development fails to comply with policies HOU11 and DES4 of the East Herts District Plan 2018, the Bengeo Neighbourhood Plan and the NPPF.
  2. The proposal by reason of its size, scale and siting would have an adverse impact upon neighbouring amenity in terms of loss of light and outlook of No. 61 Revels Road. The resultant impact would have overbearing and harmful impact upon the amenity of neighbouring occupiers. The proposal therefore fails to comply with policy DES4 of the East Herts District Plan 2018.

From the council's decision notice.
