Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers the proposed two side extension by reason of its massing, lack of subservience and minimal step in from the common boundary which 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 increase roof height will create a visually incongruous addition with the street scene. Furthermore, the enlarged rear dormer window, by virtue of its excessive size, 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.
