Why it was refused
- - The proposed rear dormer, by reason of its scale, massing, and roof form, would result in an incongruous and prominent addition that would be clearly visible from the street scene, and would harm the external appearance of the terrace and the setting of a Grade II listed building, contrary to the requirements of policies D4 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021) and policies S.DH1 and S.DH3 of the Tower Hamlets Local Plan (2020).
From the council's decision notice.
