Why it was refused
- - The proposed mansard roof extension, by reason of its size, bulk, and design, would be an incongruous and obtrusive addition that would be highly visible from the public realm and harmful the apperance and character of the host property and wider terrace row, contrary to policy D4 of the London Plan (2021) and policy S.DH1 of the Tower Hamlets Local Plan (2020).
From the council's decision notice.
