Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two-storey side extension is considered to have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area due to its siting and visual prominence on the corner, excessive width, depth and bulk and overall scale. This would result in an overly bulky and incongruous addition, which would be unduly visually prominent in the street scene and would result in a development that significantly harms the overall character and appearance of the area. As such it would fail to comply with the NPPF 2024, Policy CS22 of the Core Strategy SADM30 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Plan 2016, and Planning and Design Guide Part E 2006.

From the council's decision notice.
