Why it was refused

  1. The proposed annex by reason of its siting, scale, form and design is not designed as an integral part of the dwelling house, so would not accord with the policy for residential annexes in policy DM43 of the North Somerset Sites and Policies Plan (Part 1). Policy DM43 seeks to support elderly people or other family members but the living space, distance, openings and access setup shows it can work independently.
  2. The proposed development, by reason of its siting, massing, proportions, the loss of boundary features,the loss of landscaping, breaking building lines and frontages will be out of keeping with the existing property and will result in a visually intrusive feature in the street scene, will be harmful to the street scene/local area, contrary to policy CS12 of the North Somerset Core Strategy, policies DM32 and DM38 of the North Somerset Sites and Policies Plan (Part 1) and the North Somerset Residential Design Guide SPD (Section 2: Appearance and Character of house extensions.

From the council's decision notice.
