Why it was refused
- The proposed roof alterations by reason of the increase in height, design and appearance would result in an incongruous addition that would be harmful to the character of the street scene. Therefore, the proposal would result in a harmful visual impact upon the character of the area, failing to comply with Policy DM2 (Design Quality for New Development) of the Island Plan Core Strategy and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
