Why it was refused
- The proposed two-storey side extension by reason of its size, scale, mass, siting and design, would fail to represent a subservient addition to the existing dwelling and would significantly alter the shared symmetry of the semi-detached pair. The proposed development does not represent a high standard of design and would be out of keeping with the character and appearance of the application dwelling and area, contrary to Policies HOU11, DES4 and GBR2 of the East Herts District Plan and the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
