Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by reason of its bulk, scale and design would not respect the character of the original dwelling resulting in a discordant structure that detracts from the visual amenity of the application property, unbalances 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.
