About this application

This is a planning application for a dormer extension at 184 Westwick Road Sheffield S8 7BZ. Sheffield has handled 9,053 applications of this type. This one was decided in 55 days. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 574 applications in total for the S8 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the owing to the form and scale of the extensions proposed, including the introduction of a first-floor side extension with a gable roof would be harmful to the character and appearance of this part of Westwick Road. It would detract from the general appearance of the host dwelling and street scene, failing to be compatible with the built form of the immediate area while also unbalancing the pair of semi-detached properties and introducing the possibility of the dwellings appearing terraced in the future. The proposed development is therefore considered to be contrary to Paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework; UDP policy BE5 and H14; and Guidelines 1 and 2 of the Supplementary Planning Guidance on Designing House Extensions

From the council's decision notice.
