Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by virtue of the cumulative impact of the hip to gable roof alteration, front dormers and first floor rear extension, would result in a series of incongruous, overly prominent and visually intrusive additions that would fail to respect the character, proportions and architectural form of the host dwelling. The proposal would further unbalance the appearance of the paired property. Owing to the prominent corner plot location of the site, the proposed additions would be readily visible from the surrounding streetscene and would result in an overly bulky and unsympathetic form of development that would be detrimental to the character and appearance of both the host dwelling, the paired property and the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy CP10 of the Wigan Core Strategy, Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan Policy JP-P1, Policy DP3 of the National Planning Policy Framework and the Council's adopted House Extensions Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document.
From the council's decision notice.
