Why it was refused

  1. The dormers by virtue of their siting, scale, mass and design result in an overly dominant and incongruous form of development which is detrimental to the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding area. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy BW1 of the Torfaen County Borough Council Local Development Plan (to 2021) and the Torfaen Local Development Plan - House Extension and Alterations Supplementary Planning Guidance (December 2022).

From the council's decision notice.
