Why it was refused

  1. The proposed front dormer, by reason of its flat-roofed form, scale relative to the size of the roof and prominent siting, would appear visually incongruous and unsympathetic to the host dwelling and the wider roofscape of Grove Avenue.
  2. Due to the sloping topography of the area, the development would be highly visible from the public realm, especially from the Exeter Road Highway and would result in harm to the character and appearance of the St James Teignmouth Conservation Area, where roofscape consistency is identified as an important element of local character in sections 8 and 9 of the St James Conservation Area Character Appraisal.
  3. The proposal would detract from the setting of the nearby designated heritage asset, the Grade II listed Gospel Hall, thereby causing harm to its significance.

From the council's decision notice.
