Why it was refused

  1. The proposed side and rear dormers, by reason of their overly large scale, bulk, limited set-down from the ridge and dominant flat-roofed design, would result in a top-heavy and disproportionate addition that fails to appear subordinate to the host dwelling. The development would erode the character and appearance of the original roof form and harm the visual amenity of the street scene, contrary to Saved Policy EN27 of the Wealden Local Plan and the guidance set out in Section 7, Chapter 10 of the Wealden Design Guide (2008).

From the council's decision notice.
