Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
Delivering High Quality Design
The proposed ground floor rear extension, by virtue of its excessive depth, width and overall
scale and bulk fails to appear subservient to the host building nor respect or enhance the
character and appearance of the Woogrange Conservation Area. Furthermore, the proposals
involve harmful alterations to the front of the property including an excessive extent of hard
landscaping, as well as a front boundary treatment that promotes off street parking where no
drop kerb exists. The proposed development exceeds and is contrary to the guidelines laid
out in the Woodgrange Conservation Area Design Guide (2022) exacerbating its
unacceptable scale and bulk, and poor detailed design, resulting in less than substantial
harm to the appearance and character of the Conservation Area without any demonstrable
public benefits. The proposal is therefore contrary to.
