Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two-storey side and rear extension and single storey rear extension, by reason of their cumulative scale, bulk and mass, would be considered over-dominant and out-of-keeping with the simple design, form and character of the existing dwelling. The proposal would therefore be harmful to the character and appearance of the existing dwelling. This would be contrary to the aims of the NPPF, Policy EQ11 of the Core Strategy and the South Staffordshire Design Guidance SPD, which, fundamentally, seek to ensure that all extensions are 'subservient to the main building' and 'fit in with the character and form of the existing building'.
  2. The proposed section of front boundary wall with railings, by reason of its prominent forward siting adjacent to the footpath in Cannock Road, fails to respect the prevailing layout and building line of existing front boundary walls/railings to neighbouring properties in this part of Cannock Road. Consequently, the siting of the proposed front boundary wall with railings would be considered visually intrusive and would harm the character and appearance of the street scene. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy EQ11 of the Core Strategy, which seeks to ensure that all new development is of the highest quality, respects local character, plot patterns, building lines and street layout and contributes positively to the street scene.

From the council's decision notice.
