Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed dormer window would result in an unsympathetic and incongruous form of development that is out of character with the application property and wider streetscene in which the host property is situated. Additionally, the dormer window is considered to represent an inappropriate addition to the application property by reason of its scale, design and positioning. Further to this the removal of the existing chimney would result in the loss of an existing positive feature without any justification or suitable replacement. Thereafter the proposal would lead to harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area with the proposal offering no public benefits capable of outweighing this harm. As such it is considered that the proposal would be contrary to the wider aims of Core Strategy policies P10, P11 and P12, saved UDP policies GP5, BD6, and N19, Householder Design Guide SPD policy HDG1 and the guidance within the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
