Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed loft conversion, due to the bulk, depth and overall volume increase at roof level,
would appear excessive, disproportionate, top-heavy and overly dominant. In addition, the proposed rear
dormer would fill the entire rear roof slope, appearing large and box-like, to the detriment of the wider street
block. As such, the development would introduce a visually overbearing roof design to the streetscene that
is of an overall poor design quality, causing harm to the character of the area and streetscene contrary to
Policy 28 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018 and 'Design of Residential Extensions' SPD4.
