Why it was refused
- The proposed two-storey side extension, by virtue of its scale, width, design and proximity to the adjoining property to the east, would result in the loss of the characteristic gap between the dwellings at first-floor level. The development would create an unacceptable terracing effect and appear cramped and incongruous within the street scene, causing harm to the character and appearance of the area. The proposal therefore fails to comply with Policies HB1 and HB8 of the Places and Policies Local Plan 2020.
From the council's decision notice.
