Why it was refused

  1. The front boundary wall and gates, by reason of their height, siting and appearance, are not in keeping with the original dwelling and the surrounding area, the proposal is an incongruous feature in the street scene and has a detrimental impact to the character of the immediate area and is contrary to Local Plan Policy HC4 'House Extensions, Houses in Multiple Occupation and Flats', EQ2 'Design' and the House Extensions Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) 2023 and the Boundary Treatment Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) December 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
