Why it was refused

  1. The impact of the proposed dormer windows on the front and side elevations would be detrimental to the character of the host dwelling and the street scene and would remove the existing simple symmetry of the property. It is considered that the introduction of the front and side dormers would be clearly visible along the street and would adversely change the character of the host dwelling and consequently the wider distinctiveness of the street. In addition, the scale and mass of the rear extension with the significant increase in 26/10146 roof space resulting in a long unbroken ridge line, coupled with the introduction of a large imposing gable end instead of a hipped roof is not in keeping with the character of the host dwelling and would it is considered adversely impact on its character as well as the wider street scene. This proposal is considered to be contrary to the provisions of the New Forest District Council Local Plan Policy ENV3 (July 2020), National Planning Policy Framework paragraphs 135 (b), (c), (d) and 139 (December 2024), and the emerging Sandleheath Neighbourhood Plan Policy SAN3 and the accompanying Sandleheath Design Code (2026).

From the council's decision notice.
