Why it was refused

  1. By reasons of its awkwardly shaped roof and splayed walls, the two-storey bay extension would have an awkward and unacceptable relationship with the dwellinghouse. The extension would be visually dominating and not sit comfortably alongside the existing dwellinghouse as it would clash with the appearance and its predominantly simple, gable and pitched roof design. The bay feature would neither compliment nor enhance the appearance of the existing dwelling. The proposal is therefore contrary to policy DC1 of the Staffordshire Moorlands Local Plan, Design Principles for Development in the Staffordshire Moorlands (SPG), the Staffordshire Moorlands Design Guide (SPD) and the National Planning Policy Framework including section 12 'Achieving well designed places.
  2. By reasons of height, location and close proximity to the boundary, the proposed side and rear extensions would result in an unacceptable and overbearing relationship with rear windows and external amenity space at number 63 Dilhorne Road, contrary to policy DC1 of the Staffordshire Moorlands Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework including section 12 'Achieving well-designed places.'

From the council's decision notice.
