Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority consider that the height, design, materials and siting of the flue mean it is an out of keeping and visually prominent addition which causes harm to the character of the streetscene. The development is therefore contrary to the aims and intentions of Policy P10 of the Core Strategy (2019), policies GP5 and BD6 of the Unitary Development Plan Review, policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide (2012) and Section 12 of the Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
