It is the opinion of the local planning authority that the proposed development, by reason of its siting, scale, height, massing and design would appear unduly prominent and incongruous in relation to the existing dwelling, the terrace it forms part of, and the street scene generally. As such, it would not represent high quality design and would be detrimental to visual amenity. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy CS2 of the Charnwood Local Plan 2011-2028 Core Strategy, saved Policies EV/1 and H/17 of the Borough of Charnwood Local Plan (2004) which require that such development respects and enhances the character of the area and is of a design that is compatible with the locality and any neighbouring buildings, and similar advice contained within the Borough Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Document - Design (2020). The proposal is also contrary to Paragraph 130 of the NPPF which states that permission should be refused for development of poor design that fails to take the opportunities available for improving the character and quality of an area.
