Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by virtue of general design, roof form and height fails to integrate with the established character and architectural identity of the host dwelling. As a result, the scheme represents a poor design that is not subordinate to the host dwelling and does not respect or reflect the character, appearance or proportions of the existing property. 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. Statement under Article 3 5 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015

From the council's decision notice.
