Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of its scale, form and design would result in a visually dominant and incongruous addition to the dwelling. The development would be detrimental to, and would significantly harm, the character and appearance of the host dwelling, the streetscene and the surrounding area more widely. The proposal is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007), Policies DM1 and DM3 of the Development Management Document (2015) and the advice contained within the National Design Guide (2021) and the Southend-on-Sea Design and Townscape Guide (2009).

From the council's decision notice.
