Why it was refused
- The proposed front extension, by reason of its scale, siting and projection forward of the established building line, would appear as an unduly prominent and incongruous addition that fails to respect the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding street scene. The development would disrupt the prevailing pattern of development resulting in harm to the character and appearance of the locality. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies CP3 and BE1 of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy, and the design principles set out Sustainable Development SPD, Lichfield Design Code and the guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework, which seek to ensure that development responds positively to local character and distinctiveness.
From the council's decision notice.
