Why it was refused

  1. The proposed dormer would, due to its size, form and design, appear as a continuous extension of the first floor that fails to achieve subservience to the host dwelling, and is considered to be poor design. The proposal would relate poorly with the host dwelling and surrounding area contrary to policies HOU11 and DES4 of the East Herts District Plan 2018.

From the council's decision notice.
