Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two-storey extension, by reason of its scale, height, bulk and siting, would appear as a dominant and incongruous addition that would harm the uniform character of the terrace. It would also create an overbearing form of development, causing unacceptable harm to residential amenity.

From the council's decision notice.
