Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two storey side and rear extension and new garage by reason of its bulk, scale and design would result in additions to the dwelling which do not respect the character of the property and would result in over intensification and over development of the site which would detract from the visual amenity of the application property, significantly unbalance the symmetry between the pair of semi-detached houses, and appears as an incongruous addition to the street scene. Therefore, the development would be contrary to Policy P15 of the Solihull Local Plan, House Extension Guidelines SPD 2010 and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
