Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed front dormer window, by virtue of its size, design, form, and positioning would introduce an unsympathetic design feature which would be significantly harmful to the character and appearance of the application property, wider streetscene and the Character of the Chapel Allerton Conservation Area. No public benefits have been identified which would clearly outweigh the harm to the character of the Conservation Area. Therefore, the proposal would be contrary to policies P10, P11 and P12 of the Core Strategy, saved UDP policies GP5, BD6, and N19, policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD, guidance contained in the guidance contained within the Chapel Allerton Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan and guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
