Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extensions to the host dwelling would have a cumulative impact which would cause unacceptable harm to its character and appearance, as well as having a bulk, scale, design and massing which would not be compatible with the existing built form. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy HC8(2) of the Stroud District Local Plan, November 2015.
  2. The proposed two storey extension to the side of the dwelling would have significant height, bulk and projection and be located against the boundary of the plot with the neighbouring dwelling. This, coupled with the land levels of the site, would lead to the structure having an overbearing impact on the neighbouring plot. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy ES3 of the Stroud District Local Plan, November 2015.

From the council's decision notice.
