Why it was refused
- By virtue of its excessive scale, unsympathetic design, and prominent siting, the development fails to represent high-quality design. It does not respond positively to the character of the area or the form of the host dwelling, and results in a highly visually intrusive and harmful addition to the street scene. Accordingly, the proposal conflicts with Policies SD1 and DE1 of the Local Plan, the Council's Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD, and the design objectives set out in the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
