Why it was refused

  1. The proposed dormer window, by reason of the design, size and positioning, would lead to a form of development which would represent an unsympathetic and incongruous addition to the host property and within the immediate streetscene. This would in turn be harmful to visual amenity and the character and appearance of the property and to the Conservation Area, contrary to the aims and objectives of policy P10, P11 and P12 of the Core Strategy, saved UDP policies GP5, N19 and BD6 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
