Why it was refused
- By virtue of its siting, size and design, the proposed extension would result in a disproportionate addition to the dwelling with a size, scale, and style that is incongruous with the form and design of the existing dwelling. As such, the proposed development would fail to accord with Policies QOP 2 and HOU 9 of the Northumberland Local Plan, Policy 10 of the Stannington Parish Neighbourhood Plan, and the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
