Why it was refused

  1. The proposed roof alterations, by reason of the height, detailed design, scale, form, and appearance including the number and size of the dormer windows would result in an awkward and incongruous development that would be visually prominent and harmful to the character and appearance of the existing dwelling, the immediate street scene in Camden Road, Drake Road and wider area contrary to Policies CSTP22, CSTP23 and PMD2 of the adopted Core Strategy 2015, criteria in the adopted Residential Alterations & Extensions SPD September 2017 and the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
