Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed two storey side element of the extension, by reason of its design, scale, size, siting prominence in the street scene, would result in a development which significant harms local character by failing to retain sufficient gap to the side boundary of the site. As a result the proposal is significantly harmful in design and character terms and is contrary to Core Strategy policies P10 and P12, to saved policies GP5 and BD6 of the Unitary Development Plan, and to policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD. The proposal will also conflict with the guidance contained within the NPPF on matters of good design.

From the council's decision notice.
