Why it was refused

  1. The front dormer extension by virtue of its excessive size and boxy design would dominate the front roof slope of the host dwelling and would represent an unsympathetic addition to the property that would unbalance the pair of semis. This would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the wider street in this area, contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025) and the Council's supplementary planning guidance document Placemaking Guidance for Householder Development (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
