Why it was refused

  1. The proposed front dormer window and rear two storey extension, by virtue of their bulk, mass, and design, would individually and cumulatively, fail to reflect the proportions, scale and size of the existing dwelling and would appear as dominant, top heavy, visually obtrusive and detrimental forms of development that would be harmful to the character and appearance of the property. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies HB1 and HB8 of the adopted Places and Policies Local Plan 2020 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
