Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension, due to its size, scale, massing, unsympathetic contemporary design, prominence and intrusive location forward of the property's building line, would represent an unacceptable form of development, which would be visually dominating and unsympathetic to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the pattern of development in the vicinity. Therefore, the proposed works are in conflict with Saved Policies HG10 and EN27 of the Wealden Local Plan (1998), the Wealden Design Guide 2008, Chapter 10, section 2 and the guidance in the NPPF at paragraphs 131, 135 and 139.

From the council's decision notice.
