Why it was refused

  1. The two-storey extension by reason of its size, scale, mass, form and crown roof would not result in a subservient addition to the dwelling. The proposal would be out of keeping with the character and appearance of the dwelling and area. As such, the proposed scheme is contrary to Policies HOU11 and DES4 of the East Herts District Plan 2018 and the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
