Why it was refused

  1. The proposed first floor balcony, external stair and pergola structure, by virtue of its scale, depth, full-width form and incongruous design, would represent a visually intrusive and poorly integrated addition to the host dwelling. The development would introduce a bulky and discordant feature that fails to respect the established pattern, character and appearance of the surrounding built form, including the consistent staggered building line and absence of similar structures within the immediate context. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policies HC8 , CP14 and ES12 of the Stroud District Local Plan, which seek to ensure that extensions are appropriate in scale, design and character and that development responds positively to its context.
  2. The proposed development, by reason of the creation of a first floor balcony of sufficient depth and width to function as a usable external amenity space, which in combination with the external steps would result in increased opportunities for direct and prolonged overlooking of neighbouring residential properties and their private garden areas. This would materially intensify the perception and incidence of overlooking beyond that currently experienced from existing openings and Juliette balconies, resulting in an unacceptable loss of privacy. The proposal therefore fails to protect the amenity of neighbouring occupiers and is contrary to Policy ES3 of the Stroud District Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
