Why it was refused
- The Local Planning authority considers the proposed first floor side extension, by reason of its height, massing and absence of step in from the common boundary would result in the loss of the visual gap between the application property and the adjoining dwelling, creating an unacceptable terracing effect. In addition to this the proposed rear dormer window, by virtue of its excessive size and lack of sufficient set-ins from the sides and step down from ridge line, will result in a top heavy addition which over dominates the rear roof space. 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.
