Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two storey, rear and side extensions, by virtue of their excessive scale and poor design, would individually and cumulatively, fail to reflect the proportion, scale and size of the existing dwelling and would appear as an incongruous and overbearing form of development that would be harmful to the character and appearance of the existing property and the wider street scene. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies HB1 and HB8 of the adopted Places and Policies Local Plan and paragraph 135 of the NPPF.
  2. The proposed development would result in the loss of off street parking spaces for the dwelling, resulting in increased on-street parking in a manner harmful to highway safety and amenity and contrary to Policies HB8, T1 and T2 of the Places and Policies Local Plan (2020).

From the council's decision notice.
