Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by virtue of its cumulative scale, massing, fenestration and roof forms, fails to integrate with the established character and architectural identity of the host dwelling. As a result, the scheme represents a poor design that does not respect or reflect the character or proportions of the existing property and does not present as subordinate additions to the host dwelling. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy CP10 of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strategy, Policy JP- P1 of the Places for Everyone Plan, the House Extensions Design Guide SPD, and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
