Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority considers the proposed alterations to the dormer window located on the southern elevation would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the original dwellinghouse and the character of the area. Due to the proposed size, scale and design of the proposed dormer, the application property will become unbalanced and lack visual harmony. As such the proposal is contrary to Policies P10 of the Core Strategy, saved Policies GP5 and BD6 within the Unitary Development Plan Review, Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide and guidance within the section 12 of the Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
