Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extensions would be overly large and visually dominant in terms of the host dwelling and would result in a dwelling which is discordant with the street and wider Sefton Village Conservation Area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Sefton Local Plan policy HC4 Part 1a House Extensions, Houses in Multiple Occupations and Flats, NH9 Heritage Assets and NH12 Conservation Areas as it fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Sefton Village Conservation Area.

From the council's decision notice.
