Why it was refused

  1. By virtue of its size, scale, design and location on the front roof slope the proposed dormer would have an unacceptable impact upon the design of the original dwelling and in turn cause harm to the wider character and appearance of the street scene, in conflict with Para 139 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies DM16 and DM24 of the Adopted Pendle Local Plan Fourth Edition (2021-2040), and the Adopted Pendle Design Principles SPD.

From the council's decision notice.
