Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of its cumulative scale, bulk, massing and design, including the full-width two-storey rear extension, extensive dormer and the proposed 1.5 metre high front boundary wall, would result in a dominant and disproportionate form of development that fails to appear subordinate to the host dwelling. The proposal would fundamentally alter the character and appearance of the original bungalow and introduce an unduly enclosed frontage, to the detriment of the character and visual amenity of the street scene and surrounding area. The development is therefore contrary to Policy SWDP 28 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, the South Worcestershire Design Guide SPD, and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
