Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development will result in a cramped, incongruous and contrived form of development that would fail to respect the character, appearance and spatial characteristics of the property and the neighbouring houses, by reason of its size, scale, massing, proximity to boundaries and design. The proposed development is contrary to policy CP1 and CP3 of the core strategy, the Borough Design Guide SPD and section 12 of the NPPF.
  2. The proposed development would have detrimental impact on the amenity of the occupants at No.97 Butts Hill Road reason of an over-dominant and overbearing impact; contrary to policy CP1 and CP3 of the Core Strategy, the Borough Design Guide SPD and section 12 of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
