Why it was refused
- The proposed extension to the rear roof slope, by reason of its siting and scale would result in a highly visible development that would dominate the rear roof slope of dwelling and disrupted the prevailing pattern of development, detracting from the site and surrounding area resulting in visual harm to the character and appearance of the existing dwelling, the immediate street scene and wider area contrary to the NPPF, Policies CSTP22 and PMD2 of the adopted Core Strategy 2015 and criteria in the adopted Residential Alterations & Extensions SPD September 2017.
From the council's decision notice.
