Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by virtue of its roof symmetry and overall scale, bulk, massing and proposed use of roof materials is considered to be of poor design and would read as an unsympathetic, incongruous and over dominant addition to the application property. Furthermore its prominent corner siting would mean that the development would be clearly visible in the street scene and as such is considered harmful to the visual amenities of the area. The development would therefore fail to satisfy the requirements of Paragraphs 135 (c) and 140 of the NPPF and Policy DMG1 of the Ribble Valley Core Strategy.

From the council's decision notice.
