Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority consider that the cumulative impact of the design with varied roof forms, disproportionate scale, and inappropriate use of materials, would result in an incongruous form of development that fails to respect the proportions of the main dwelling. As such, the proposals conflict with the design requirements of Core Strategy (as amended 2019) policy P10, saved Unitary Development Plan Review (2006) policy BD6, and Householder Design Guide policy HDG1, which, together seek to ensure new development is sensitively designed and contextually appropriate within its locality.

From the council's decision notice.
