Why it was refused
- By reason of its scale and form, the proposed side extension combined with the hip to gable roof extension would not read as a subservient addition to the host dwelling and would produce an expansive, and unbroken massing of significant width which would be uncharacteristic of the surrounding area. The result of the development would be an overly dominant and incongruous feature within the street scene that would give rise to adverse harm to character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area. The proposed development therefore fails to be suitably well- designed and is therefore contrary to Policy DM1 of the Rochdale Core Strategy, the Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Document 'Guidelines and Standards for Residential Development', Policy JP-P1 of the adopted Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan and the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework. Procedure Statement: The proposal would not improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area nor does it comply with the development plan and therefore does not comprise sustainable development. There were no amendments to the scheme, or conditions which could reasonably have been imposed, which could have made the development acceptable and it was therefore not possible to approve the application.
From the council's decision notice.
