Why it was refused
- The development, both as built and as proposed on the revised submitted plans, by reasons of the design, size, siting, height and materials including the use of black painted timber cladding and its close proximity to the boundary as an additional enlargement to the existing rear extension, presents an inappropriate and incongruous extension detrimental to both the visual character and residential amenity resulting in an overbearing and dominant extension relative to 61 Trinkeld Avenue that also contributes to a perceived loss of light and overshadowing effect on 61 Trinkeld Avenue and which fails to achieve a high standard of quality materials and design contrary to Policies CS1.1 and CS8.10 of the South Lakeland Core Strategy Document, Policies DM1 and DM2 of the Development Management Policies Development Plan Document, the emerging Design Code Supplementary Planning Document and to guidance within the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
