Why it was refused

  1. The proposed raised platform and stairway would result in an intensification of use and an unacceptable increase in the level of perceived over-looking and loss of privacy. As such the proposal is contrary to policy DEV1 of the Plymouth & Southwest Devon Joint Local Plan 2014-2034.
  2. The siting, design and materials of the proposed raised platform and stairway would result in a visually intrusive addition that would neither be in keeping with or enhance the appearance of the host dwelling or surrounding Conservation Area. As such the proposal is contrary to policy DEV20 and DEV21 of the Plymouth & Southwest Devon Joint Local Plan 2014-2034. Application ref.

From the council's decision notice.
