Why it was refused

Due to the height and width of the proposed extensions, in particular to the side at first floor level, this element of the development would result in the loss of space between, and around buildings and would have a detrimental impact on the street scene. Furthermore, due to the significant increases in width and depth, at first floor level and above, the proposed development would not result in subordinate or sympathetic extensions. In addition, due to the bulk and contrived roof form, this element of the proposal would result in further harm to the street scene due to its prominent and cluttered and contrived appearance. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy DM9 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies Document 2012, guiding principles 7.8, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 Residential Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document 2017 and guiding principle WH1(a), WH1(b), WH1(e), WH2 and WH6 of the Western Urban Area Character Supplementary Planning Document 2012.

From the council's decision notice.
