Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed first floor front extension by reason of scale, prominence, varying materials and projection beyond the building line would be significantly harmful to the character and appearance of the application property and the wider local character and therefore, the proposal would be contrary to the wider aims of policies P10 of the Core Strategy (as amended, 2019), saved Unitary Development Plan Review (2006) policies GP5 and BD6, policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD (2012) and guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
