Why it was refused

  1. Achieving a High-Quality Design The proposed rear dormer roof extensions by virtue of their excessive scale, bulk and massing results in an incongruous, overly dominant and alien-like form of development that would fail to attribute positively to the characteristics of the existing building nor respect the character and appearance of the wider locally designated area of townscape value . The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to: • National Planning Policy Framework (MHCLG, December 2024); and • Policy D3 and D4 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021); and • Policies SP1 and SP3 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan (December 2018); and • Altering and Extending Your Home SPD (Adopted 01 February 2018). The above policies can be viewed online via the respective government websites ie. the www.gov.uk website.

From the council's decision notice.
