Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension would have a harmful impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area. It conflicts with Policy ENV6 of the Hyndburn Core Strategy, policies DM10 and DM26 of the Hyndburn Development Management Development Plan Document, the Householder Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposal would have a harmful impact on the living conditions of nearby occupants.

From the council's decision notice.
