Why it was refused

  1. The extension, by reason of its design, size and location appears as a dominant and overbearing addition which creates an adverse visual impact on the character and appearance of the site. It neither preserves or enhances the Churchtown Conservation Area and there are no public benefits that outweigh the harm created. The development does not accord with Policies NH11 and NH12 of the Local Plan.
  2. The replacement boundary treatment makes no reference to the immediate locality or historic red brick boundary walls, which match with the buildings, appears entirely at odds with the character and appearance of the Churchtown Conservation Area.
  3. The extension, by reason of its size and location appears dominant and overbearing and creates a harmful impact on outlook from 1 Manor Road to the detriment of the living conditions of the occupiers.
  4. The extension, by reason of its size, creates a more intensive use of the site leading to increased noise and disturbance from comings and goings, parking and deliveries to the detriment of the living conditions of neighbouring properties. The development does not accord with Policy HC3 of the Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
