Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in an overly large, disproportionate and visually intrusive form of extension that fails to remain subordinate to the host dwellings. The design approach is overly complex and contrived, lacking the clarity and contextual sensitivity required to integrate successfully with the existing built environment. The development would disrupt the established urban grain, erode the spatial qualities of the site, undermine the cohesive character of Wordsworth Close, and cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring amenity . The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies SP1, SP24, DP1 and DP3 of the East Staffordshire Local Plan, the East Staffordshire Design Guide SPD, and Paragraph 135 of the NPPF and those policies contained in the Framework that affect heritage assets.

From the council's decision notice.
