Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of the design, scale, height, massing, rear projection and materials of the proposed two storey rear extension and the design, scale, and massing of the proposed rear dormer, would represent an incongruous, unsympathetic and over-dominant form of development that would be out of keeping with the character of the existing dwelling and the surrounding area. The proposed development would therefore have a detrimental impact on the character and visual appearance of the application property and the surrounding area and would not respect APPLICATION NUMBER – 118104/HHA/26 REHHAZ the character and identity of the locality. The proposal would be contrary to Policy JP-P1 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan, the Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Document, SPD4: A Guide for Designing House Extensions and Alterations, and policies in the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposed two storey rear extension, by reason of its scale, height, massing, siting and proximity to the common boundary with No.52 Grange Road, would result in an unacceptable overbearing and overshadowing impact and an undue sense of enclosure in relation to the main habitable room windows and rear amenity space of that property to the detriment of the amenity that the occupiers of that dwelling 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 and Alterations, and policies in the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
