Why it was refused

  1. The proposed front dormer, by reason of its siting, massing, scale, proportions, and materials will be out of keeping with the existing property and will result in a visually intrusive feature in the street scene, 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 and alterations).

From the council's decision notice.
