Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority considers the proposed works to increase the ridge height, the hip-to-gable extension and rear dormer would represent an unsympathetic and incongruous addition to the application property and within the immediate locality/street scene due to their design, scale and massing. As a result the proposal is considered harmful to local character contrary to the wider aims and objectives of Core Strategy policies P10 and P12, saved Unitary Development Plan policies GP5 and BD6, Householder Design Guide SPD policy HDG1 and the guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
