Why it was refused

  1. The proposed side extension would not be acceptable due to its design and positioning. It would be detrimental to the symmetry of the existing semi-detached couplet and appear out of character within the street scene. The proposal would be contrary to Core Strategy Policy CS03, and National Planning Policy Framework (2024) Paragraphs 131, 135 and 139
  2. In the absence of a Tree Survey, insufficient information has been submitted to determine the application and the impact of the outbuilding on neighbouring trees. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy Policy CS03 and saved policy UD06 of the Leicester Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
