Why it was refused

  1. The development has resulted in a significant loss of private garden space and cramped rear amenity area, with the shed appearing overly dominant and disproportionate within the rear garden setting, the cumulative harm from the scale of the unauthorised conservatory, and the loss of the private lawn and its replacement with hard surfacing throughout the rear of the site diminishing the landscape quality, resulting in harm to the character and environmental quality of the dwelling and its surroundings. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to JP-P1 of PfE, SPD7 (Trafford Design Code), SPD4 and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
