Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would, by virtue of its general scale, siting, massing, roof form and height, contribute an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy JP -P1 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan, Policy CP10 of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strategy, the House Extensions Design Guide and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposed extension would, by virtue of its length and siting along the common boundary, increased ridge height and altered roof form, contribute towards an unacceptable and overbearing impact onto habitable room windows and private garden spaces within the adjacent dwelling of 17 Foxglove Close adversely impacting upon the occupants' quality of life. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy CP17 of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strategy, the House Extensions Design Guide SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework. Statement under Article 3 5 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015

From the council's decision notice.
