Why it was refused
- The development, as indicated on plans numbers DC01,DC02,DC03,DC04,DC05 by reason of its scale, size and design and visually discordant feature, which is out of scale and character with the composition and integrity of the original and surrounding residential dwellings to the detriment of the visual amenities of the surrounding area. It would materially harm rather than improve the character and appearance of the area, and as such would be contrary to Policies LLP1, LLP19 and LLP25 of the Luton Local Plan and the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
From the council's decision notice.
