Why it was refused

  1. The proposed roof additions fail to integrate sensitively with the dwelling’s distinctive roof form or surrounding street scene, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the dwellinghouse and the local area. Furthermore, it fails to satisfy the expectations of Appendix D of the Wiltshire Design Guide (March 2024) and is found contrary to Core Policy 57 (i, iii, vi) of the Wiltshire Core Strategy (January 2015) and paragraphs 131, 135, 139 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024).

From the council's decision notice.
