Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extensions by virtue of their design, scale and mass would result in an unsympathetic, incongruous and discordant form of development which would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the surrounding area. As such, the development is contrary to Policy BW1 of the Torfaen County Borough Council Local Development Plan (to 2021) and the House Extension and Alterations SPG (December 2022).

From the council's decision notice.
