Why it was refused

  1. The proposed first floor side extension to the dwelling would, by virtue of the complex roof design and incohesive overall form/layout appear as an incongruous and unsympathetic addition to the host property, detracting from the appearance of the dwelling and the contribution it makes to the street scene, contrary to policies DEV20, DEV21, DEV23 and TTV29 of the Plymouth and South West Joint Local Plan (2014-2034).

From the council's decision notice.
