Why it was refused

  1. The proposed increased roof height and form along with the front projection and rear box dormer would give rise to a large and prominent top heavy form that would be an incongruous addition to the dwelling and street scene. This would be contrary to Policy BW1 of the Adopted Torfaen County Borough Council Local Development Plan (up to 2021), the Adopted Householder Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Guidance and the Placemaking Principles in Chapter 3 of Planning Policy Wales Edition 12 and advice in paragraphs 2.6 & 6.16 of TAN 12 (Design) March 2016.

From the council's decision notice.
