Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority consider that detailed design of the single storey side and rear extension results in an incongruous and out of keeping addition that fails to reflect the character of the application dwelling. As such, the proposal causes harm to the character of the dwelling and is contrary to Core Strategy policy P10 (2019), saved Unitary Development Plan Review (2006) policies GP5 and BD6, policy HDG1 of the Design Guide (2012) and the Section 12 of the Framework.
  2. The Local Planning Authority consider that the overall depth and massing of the extension in close proximity to the common boundaries with 41 and 45 Haigh Road would result in an unduly dominant and overbearing addition that would harmful impact the rear gardens of both properties and the rear facing windows of 45 Haigh Road. As such, the proposal would cause harm to residential amenity, contrary to Policy P10 of the Core Strategy (2019), Saved UDPR (2006) Policy GP5 and BD5, and policy HDG2 of the Householder Design Guide (2012).

From the council's decision notice.
