About this application

This is a planning application for a rear extension at 118 Grange Road Wigston Leicestershire LE18 1JJ. Oadby and Wigston has handled 440 applications of this type. This one was decided in 48 days, 8 days quicker than Oadby and Wigston's typical decision time. There has been 1 other application at this address. In the past year there have been 1 application across Lady Bay. We hold 218 applications in total for the LE18 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed gabled roof conversion, by virtue of its inappropriate design, bulk and scale, would appear incongruous within a street scene characterised by hipped-roof dwellings. In combination with the hipped, wraparound two storey extension, the proposal would create an overly contrived roof form that fails to integrate with the host property and would harm the character and appearance of both the dwelling and the wider area. The development is therefore considered contrary to the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies 6 and 44 of the Oadby & Wigston Local Plan (2019), and the Residential Development Supplementary Planning Document (2019).

From the council's decision notice.
