Why it was refused

  1. By virtue of the extent of glazing proposed at first floor level, the removal of the rain canopy and significant material alterations to the front elevation of the inner circle of Oak Court, it would result in a design that is at odds with the rest of Oak Court, which is highly consistent in its design and appearance and would not be cohesive or relate well to the existing appearance and character of Oak Court to the detriment of the planned and consistent design of this area. The development would therefore be contrary to policies D1, D2 and D3 of Plan:MK, policies CMKAP G1 and CMKAP G2 of the CMK Alliance Neighbourhood Development Plan, section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and associated Planning Practice Guidance (PPG).

From the council's decision notice.
