Why it was refused

  1. The Council considers that the proposed single storey side extension by virtue of its size, height, design, location and projection would not represent a subservient addition to the host property and would appear unduly prominent. The proposed extension would create a scheme that would not be subservient to the host property and would create an incongruous feature which is highly visible within the street scene, therefore, being harmful to the character and appearance of the host property and the streetscene in general. As such the development is contrary to Local Plan Policies CS28 ‘Sustainable Development’ and SP55 ‘Design Principles’, as well as the Council’s SPD ‘Householder Design Guide’ and the guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework and the National Planning Practice Guidance.

From the council's decision notice.
