Why it was refused

  1. The proposed alterations to the main roof slope represent an uncharacteristic and contrived design response that fails to respect the established form and architectural integrity of the dwelling. The resulting roof form would appear incongruous when viewed from the principal elevation, causing harm to the character and appearance of the building and the wider street scene, contrary to the principles of high-quality design contained within Policies HC8 and CP14(5) of the Stroud District Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. Insufficient information has been submitted to enable the Local Planning Authority to fully assess the ecological impact of the development, contrary to Policy ES6 of the Stroud Disrict Local Plan and paragraphs 187, 192 and 193 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
