Why it was refused

  1. The proposed demolition of existing single storey side extension; erection of two storey extension to both side elevations; installation of roof lights to the front roof plane; and removal of timber shutters cannot be supported as it would have a harmful impact on the character and appearance of Mauldeth Road Conservation Area by reason of its appearance, design, form, siting and materiality. The proposal would fail to preserve or enhance its special architectural and historic significance as a designated heritage asset. On these grounds the development would be contrary to the requirements of Core Policy CS8 "Safeguarding and Improving the Environment" and SIE-3 "Protecting, Safeguarding and Enhancing the Environment" of the Stockport Core Strategy DPD, saved policy HC1.3 "Special Control of Development in Conservation Areas" of the Stockport Unitary Development Plan Review and the guidance within Section 12 and 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
