Why it was refused

  1. By reason of siting, scale and design the proposed dormers on the front roof slopes would have an unacceptable impact upon the design of the original dwelling and cause harm to the character and appearance of the Whitefield Conservation Area. Whilst it would cause less than substantial harm, the harm would not be outweighed by public benefits associated with the development. As such the development is contrary to paragraph 215 of the Framework, Policy DM16, Policy DM18 and Policy DM24 of the Pendle Local Plan Fourth Edition (2021- 2040), the adopted Design Principles SPD and the adopted Conservation Area Design and Development Guidance SPD.
