Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by virtue of the scale, massing, increase in ridge height, and façade design, is considered to result in overly dominant and contextually unsympathetic form of development that would appear overbearing and visually intrusive within the streetscene to the detriment of the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the wider streetscene. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone, the Council's adopted APPLICATION NUMBER – 117877/HHA/25 REHHAZ Supplementary Planning Document 4: A Guide for Designing House Extensions and Alterations, February 2012 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposed development, by reason of its scale, massing and proximity to the side boundaries would result in an overly dominant form of development giving rise to an unacceptable overbearing impact and sense of enclosure, to the detriment of the amenity that the occupants of no's 4 and 8 Millway could reasonably expect to enjoy. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policy L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy, the Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Document, SPD4: A Guide for Designing House Extensions & Alterations and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
