Why it was refused
- The proposed two-storey side extension, part two-storey rear extension, single- storey rear extension and part first-floor rear extension, by reason of its scale, bulk, massing, design and appearance, would result in a dominant and incongruous form of development that would fail to appear subordinate to the host dwelling and would harm the character and appearance of the dwelling, street scene and wider area. The amendments made to the scheme are not considered sufficient to overcome the concerns identified by the Planning Inspector in dismissing the previous appeal. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies CSTP22, CSTP23 and PMD2 of the Thurrock Core Strategy and Policies for the Management of Development (as amended) 2015, the Residential Alterations and Extensions SPD (2017) and Chapter 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
From the council's decision notice.
