Why it was refused
- The proposal would result in a flat roofed and large extension to the rear of the property. The extension would appear overly prominent and would not respect the character and form of the existing dwelling, resulting in harm to the character and appearance of the property, being a contrived form of development. As such it would not represent good design and fail to comply with Policy H4 and Policy D4 of LPDMP and the Residential Extensions and Alterations Guide SPD.
From the council's decision notice.
