Why it was refused

  1. The proposed hip-to-gable roof extension to side and dormer window to rear would represent unsympathetic and incongruous additions to the host property that would be harmful to both its appearance and character and that of the wider streetscenes. The hip- to-gable extension would unbalance the pair of existing hipped roofed semi-detached dwellings and fail to achieve a degree of symmetry which is an important characteristic of this part of Scott Hall Grove. The dormer window, by reason of its excessive width, massing and bulk, fails to appear as a subordinate addition to the roof, and would be prominent when viewed from the cul-de-sac to the rear. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Core Strategy Policies P10 and P12, saved UDP Policies GP5 and BD6, Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD, and with the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
