Why it was refused

  1. By reason of its size, scale, design and siting the proposed rear dormer would not be considered a subservient addition to the host dwelling, dominating the rear roof slope, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the surrounding area. The proposed development would cause a detrimental impact on the character of the non- designated heritage asset and the Conservation Area. Therefore, the proposed development does not represent a high standard of design and is contrary to Policies HA1, HA2, HA4, HOU11 and DES4 of the East Herts District Plan, the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
