Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension, by virtue of its prominent siting and inappropriate design, represents a discordant and incongruous form of development, that would detract from the character of the host dwelling, further disrupts the symmetry of this pair of semi-detached dwellings and would be detrimental to the character and visual amenities of the wider streetscene, contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019) and the Council's Placemaking Guidance for Householder Developments SPG (2021).
  2. The proposed extension, would result in the loss of an existing off-street parking space, which would place further demand on on-street parking within the locality, to the detriment of highway and pedestrian safety and the free-flow of traffic, contrary to Policy T 6 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019) and the Council's Parking Standards SPG (2012).

From the council's decision notice.
