Why it was refused
- The proposed works are considered excessive and contrary to the recommendations provided by the relevant British Standard and National Planning Policy Guidance Paragraph 089 (reference ID 36-089-20140306) and Paragraph 068, reference ID 36-068-20140306. The application fails to provide sufficient justification for the proposed works and is not proportionate to outweigh the harm on the visual amenities of the area.
From the council's decision notice.
