Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by reason of its scale, siting and design creates a large, incongruous, unsympathetic, prominent and dominating addition to the host dwelling which does not seek to take into account the local context. The proposed extensions add considerable bulk to the existing dwelling, overwhelming the existing built form and also creating an overbearing and dominating impact on the amenity of the occupiers of Havendale to the detriment of their enjoyment of their home. As such the development is considered to be contrary to core policy 57 of the adopted Wiltshire Core Strategy which requires development to "create a strong sense of place through drawing on the local context and being complimentary to the locality.

From the council's decision notice.
