Core Refusal Reason
The proposed attic roof extension is visually obtrusive and incongruous due to its excessive scale, bulk, and height above the existing ridgeline.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The scale and bulk of the proposed development are excessive and poorly positioned relative to the existing ridgeline.
- The extension is visually obtrusive and fails to integrate harmoniously with the existing dwelling or the surrounding streetscape.
- The proposal contravenes specific development standards for roof alterations and would set an undesirable precedent for similar developments in the area.
