Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two storey side extension(s), by reason of their scale, massing, design and siting in close proximity to the site's side boundaries would result in the property appearing excessively wide and cramped within the site, failing to appear subservient and resulting in a loss of spaciousness that would be out of character with the surrounding area and by its form appear visually intrusive. The proposed development would therefore have a detrimental impact on the visual appearance and character of the existing property and street scene. As such, the APPLICATION NUMBER – 118129/HHA/26 REHHAZ proposal would be contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone, the Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Document 4: A Guide for Designing House Extensions and Alterations, February 2012 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposed rear dormer extension, by virtue of its scale, massing and design would appear as a bulky and overly dominant addition that would be a unsympathetic addition, appearing visually intrusive and incongruous, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and wider area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone, the Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Document 4: A Guide for Designing House Extensions and Alterations, February 2012 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
