Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by reason of its scale, width, depth and overall massing, would result in a visually dominant and cramped form of development that erodes the spacing to the side boundary and diminishes the verdant and spacious character of the area. The proposal would fail to maintain the balance between built form and landscape and would appear incongruous and out of keeping with the host dwelling and surrounding area. The design approach, including the contrived form and use of multiple roof types including extensive flat roof areas and a crown roof, would result in an incongruous and overly complex appearance that would fail to integrate with the host dwelling. The proposal is contrary to Principles WH1, WH2 and WH6 of the WUAC SPD and Principles 10.1, 10.3 and 10.5 of the Residential Design Guide and NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
