Why it was refused

  1. The development, by virtue of the mass, width, scale and detailed design of the rear box dormer and the alteration of the roof form of the two-storey rear extension, results in an awkward combination of a peaked rear roof projecting from the flat-roof dormer and constitutes poor design. It is out of character and harmful to the appearance and character of the host dwelling, the semi-detached pair, and the wider street scene, contrary to Policies CSTP22, CSTP23 and PMD2 of the Core Strategy and Policies for the Management of Development (as amended) 2015, the Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document 2017 and the guidance set out in the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
