Why it was refused

  1. The changes embodied in the application are considered to be material. Whilst some of the changes are small, taken collectively they represent a material change to the design of the building. Changes to the ground floor 'footprint' of the building are material, as are the changes to the roof design, with a dormer replaced by a skylight, redesigned dormers elsewhere and a rearrangement of skylights. The changes are considered material in the context of the appearance of the building and the potential impact on the amenities of neighbours.

From the council's decision notice.
