Why it was refused
- The proposed first floor rear extension is not reflective of the character or design of the host property by virtue of its general design, roof form and material finish and will contribute an adverse impact on its appearance that will result in a dominant and contrasting visual feature of both the dwelling and adjacent street scene. The development therefore conflicts with Policy CP10 of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strategy, Places for Everyone Plan Policy JP-P1, the Council's House Extension Design Guide SPD (2019) and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
