Why it was refused
- The proposed hip to gable roof extension and rear dormer would constitute incongruous and dominant roof additions that would cause harm to the overall design and appearance of the host dwelling, paired property and the character of the street scene. The scale and appearance of the development constitutes poor design and therefore conflicts with Policy CP10 of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strategy, Policy JP-P1 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan, Policy GLW-D1 of the Golborne and Lowton West Neighbourhood Plan, the House Extension Design Guide SPD and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
