Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposal, by reason of the unsympathetic scale, form and design of the hip to gable roof extension and the large, boxed dormer extending across the rear roof slope, would create an unsympathetic and incongruous form of development. It would unbalance the pair of semi detached bungalows and would fail to respect the character and appearance of the host dwelling. As such it is considered to harm the character and appearance of the Horsforth Cragg Hill & Woodside Conservation Area and to the wider street scene, and the public benefits of the proposal would not outweigh that harm. As a result, the proposal is unacceptable in design and character terms and would be contrary to polices GP5, BD6 and N19 of the UDPR, policy BE1 of the Horsforth Neighbourhood Plan and with policies P10 and P11 of the Core Strategy and with the aims and intentions of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
