Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extensions by reason of their design, width, scale and mass, would result in a bulky and disproportionate addition that would visually dominate the host dwelling. The proposed window arrangement and dormers would further unbalance the elevations and appear incongruous, materially detracting from the appearance of the building. As a result the development would fail to respect the character, proportions and appearance of the host dwelling and would have a detrimental impact of the character, local identity and townscape of the area. The development is therefore contrary to Policies D1, D2 and D8 of the Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposed side extension, by reason of its siting, projection and height, would have an unacceptable overbearing impact on the amenity of the neighbouring property at No. 8 New Hall Road, resulting in a loss of light and overshadowing. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy D5 of the Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations and the National Planning Policy Framework. Article 35 Declaration 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.
