Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority considers that, due to its inappropriate design, projection and materials, all of which fail to appear subordinate or sympathetic to the host property, thye proposed development will result in harm to the character and appearance of the property and the wider street scene of Dunstarn Drive. As a result, the proposal is unacceptable in design and visual amenity terms and would be contrary to polices GP5, BD6 of the UDPR (2006) and with policies P10 of the Core Strategy, HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide and with the aims and intentions of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
