Why it was refused
- The proposed rear-facing flat-roofed dormer, by virtue of its design and prominent position, would create an incongruous, obtrusive, and top-heavy addition, harming the character of the dwelling, the streetscene, and the scenic beauty of the Kent Downs National Landscape. The development is contrary to Policies HB1, HB8, and NE3 of the Places and Policies Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
