Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear dormer extension, by virtue of its excessive scale, massing, siting and materials, represents an overly dominant and incongruous addition that fails to appear subordinate to the main roof and does not respect the character, appearance or proportions of the host dwelling. The development would introduce a visually intrusive feature that is out of keeping with the surrounding street scene, where dormers are not a common architectural form. The proposal therefore constitutes poor design and is contrary the Policy CP10 of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strategy, Policy JP-P1 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan, the Council's House Extension Design Guide SPD and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
