Why it was refused
- - The proposed mansard roof extension, by reason of its size, bulk, detailed design and siting, would be an incongruous and obtrusive addition that would harm the significance of the locally listed terrace, the street scene and the special character of the Fairfield Road Conservation Area; contrary to policies D4 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021), policies S.DH1 and S.DH3 of the Tower Hamlets Local Plan (2020) and the guidance within the Fairfield Road Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management Guidelines (2008, Addendum 2016)
From the council's decision notice.
