Why it was refused
- The proposed dormer, by reason of its design, size, scale, siting and massing, would represent an unacceptable increase in the bulk and mass of the existing dwellinghouse. The proposed development would appear overly dominant, failing to represent a subservient addition to the existing dwelling. As a result, the proposed development would appear as incongruous and unduly prominent within the street scene, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and surrounding area. Accordingly, the proposed development would fail to achieve a high standard of design, contrary to Policy DES4 and HOU11 of the East Herts District Plan 2018, Policy HDP2 of the Bishops Stortford Neighbourhood Plan for All Saints, Central, South and Part of Thorley and the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
