Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed side and rear extension, by reason of its scale, massing, positioning and projection towards the highway, would result in a visually intrusive and incongruous addition that fails to respect the established pattern of development along Lidgett Park Avenue and Talbot Road. The reduction in separation from the highway would erode the spacious character of this prominent corner plot and disrupt the uniformity of the surrounding streetscene. The prominent location at the junction would further exacerbate this harm, causing the extension to appear out of keeping with the prevailing townscape. As such the extension would be contrary to the aims and intentions of Policies P10 and P12 of the Core Strategy, saved Policy GP5 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD and advice contained the National Planning Policy Framework on issues of good design and sustainability.

From the council's decision notice.
