Why it was refused

  1. The proposed dormer extensions would constitute visually dominant elements of the dwelling due to their design, scale, materials, massing and prominent siting on the principal elevation, occupying the width of the front roof plane and entirety of the rear roof plane. This results in a disproportionate and incongruous addition to the existing dwellinghouse that fails to integrate with the property's existing character. Consequently, the proposal is considered to represent a poor design, contrary to the requirements of Core Strategy Policy CP10, the House Extension Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document, Places for Everyone Policy JP- P1, and the design objectives set out within the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
