Why it was refused

  1. The proposed first-floor side extension, extending from the existing side dormer, by virtue of its scale, siting, and design, would disrupt the established pattern of development in the streetscene, erode the spatial separation between dwellings, and result in a visually dominant and incongruous form of development, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the host building. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy GN3 of the West Lancashire Local Plan (2012-2027), the West Lancashire Design Guide SPD (2008), and Paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
