About this application

This is a planning application for a rear extension at 24 Summerhouse Road Wroughton Swindon SN4 9HZ. Swindon has handled 4,051 applications of this type. This one was decided in 53 days, 4 days longer than Swindon's typical decision time. There have been 2 other applications at this address. We hold 900 applications in total for the SN4 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposal by reason of its poor design represents an unsympathetic and incongruous addition to the host building which would be out of context and character with the existing pair of semi-detached dwellings and streetscene. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies SD1 and DE1 of the Swindon Borough Council Local Plan 2026, the Residential Extensions & Alterations Supplementary Planning Document (2011) and the NPPF (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
