Why it was refused

  1. The proposed part single and part two storey rear extensions, by reason of their size, siting and appearance, would result in prominent features that would not sufficiently reflect or be subservient to the existing dwelling, its surroundings or the local distinctiveness of the area which is predominantly uniform in character. The proposal would therefore result in harm to the established design and layout of the dwellings in this area and overdevelopment of the application site. Accordingly, the proposal as submitted would be contrary to Policies SP1 and SP9 of the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council Local Plan 2016-2036 (Adopted October 2023), the Supplementary Design Guidance (Adopted February 2005) and the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024).
