Why it was refused

  1. The proposed northeast dormer window, by virtue of its prominent position in the Cotswolds National Landscape, and its bulk, would be out of keeping with the existing property and wider street scene, where other side dormers are lacking. Additionally, when viewed as a cumulative addition with the other proposed dormer windows, it would respresent overdevelopment of the existing roof form and therefore, represents an excessive addition that is harmful to the simple nature and character of the existing property, and its wider area, which is contrary to policy HC8 criterion 2 and CP14 criterion 5 of the Stroud District Local Plan 2015.

From the council's decision notice.
