Why it was refused

  1. The proposal is contrary to Policies 14 and 16 of National Planning Framework 4 as the proposed dormer windows, by virtue of their size and massing on the roof plane, dominate and overwhelm the character and design of the original dwelling, to the detriment of the character and visual amenity of the area.
  2. The proposal is contrary to Policies D1 and D1.1 of the adopted East Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2 as the proposed dormer windows, by virtue of their size and massing on the roof plane, dominate and overwhelm the character and design of the original dwelling, to the detriment of the character and visual amenity of the area.
  3. The proposed dormer windows are contrary to the terms of the East Renfrewshire Council non-statutory Planning Guidance: Householder Design Guide (May 2023) as: (i) they are built up from the wall heads; (ii) dominate the roof slopes on which they are located; and (iii) do not have a high proportion of glazing, all to the detriment of the character and design of the dwelling and to the character and visual amenity of the area.

From the council's decision notice.
