Why it was refused

  1. The proposed part single storey/part first floor front extension and two storey rear extension, by reason of their cumulative scale, massing, design and siting, would fail to appear subordinate to the original dwelling. The proposed first floor extension would substantially enlarge the existing garage element, project beyond the original front elevation and erode the visual hierarchy of the dwelling. When considered alongside the proposed two storey rear extension, the proposal would result in an excessive increase in the overall scale and massing of the property which would fail to respect the form, proportions and character of the host dwelling. The proposal would therefore result in an overly dominant form of development that would be harmful to the character and APPLICATION NUMBER – 119906/HHA/26 REHHAZ appearance of the property and surrounding area. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to Policy JP-P1 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan, the guidance contained within SPD4: A Guide for Designing House Extensions and Alterations, and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
