Why it was refused

  1. The proposed works, by virtue of its excessive footprint, area of flat roof created and design, would represent an unacceptable form of development, which would be visually dominating and unsympathetic to the host dwelling. The large glazed area within the design would fail to minimise light spillage. Both of these elements would fail to conserve and enhance the character and appearance of the designated national landscape. Furthermore, given the previous extensions at the property the proposed works would be an over-development of the site. Accordingly, the proposal would fail to comply with Saved Policies DC19, EN6, EN27 and EN29 of the Wealden Local Plan (1998), and the Wealden Design Guide 2008, Chapter 10, and requirements of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
