Why it was refused
- The proposed front and side extension, by reason of its scale, width, siting and extensive coverage of this prominent corner plot, would significantly erode the openness currently surrounding the host building and would appear as a visually dominant and poorly integrated addition within the street scene. The proposal would fail to respond positively to the character of the site and surrounding area and would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the locality, contrary to Policies CSTP22, CSTP23 and PMD2 of the Thurrock Core Strategy and Policies for the Management of Development DPD (2015).
From the council's decision notice.
