Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of its design, height, roof form, fenestration and materiality, would introduce disproportionate, incongruous and incoherent additions to the existing dwelling to the detriment of the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and be out of keeping with the character and appearance of the street scene and the surrounding area. The proposed development would be inappropriate in its context and as such is contrary to Policy JP-P1 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan Document, the Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Document, SPD4: A Guide for Designing House Extensions APPLICATION NUMBER – 119544/HHA/26 REHHAZ and Alterations, and the National Planning Policy Framework in the terms of design and appearance.

From the council's decision notice.
