Construction of new two storey side & rear extension, incorporating existing single storey side & rear extension. Construction of single storey rear extension. Construction of Flat roof rear dormer. Construction of pitched roof side dormer 33 Westbourne Road, Stockton Heath, WA4 6SE. The proposed side dormer element fails to reinforce local distinctiveness or enhance the character and appearance of the original dwelling and street scene. Whilst there are a variety of side and rear extensions to note locally there is no precedent for side dormer additions. Such an addition would detract from the main hip roof form which is predominant locally, notwithstanding unbalancing the pair of semi-detached properties of which the application dwelling forms part. The proposal would be contrary to the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework that advocate high standards of design that have regard to local distinctiveness. It would also conflict with local Core Strategy Policies that similarly require that proposals are designed to reinforce local distinctiveness and enhance the character, appearance and function of the street scene, and should harmonise with the scale, proportions and materials of adjacent and or existing building.
