Hi everyone, I would like to ask if planning can refuse a proposed building/extension on aesthetics basis? Knowing that it is not a conservation area, nor a listed building! They state that the main reason of refusal will be "the impression of a convoluted and disjointed front elevation, which arises from the unusual massing and range of fenestration patterns, the series of different balconies and the large number of different roof shapes and spaces." Many Thanks

Thank you all, planning officer confirms that split decision is not common at all! however I decided to carry on! let's wait and see!

'consists of'... autocorrect knows better ?

Hi experts, I applied for a planning application which consists of 2 extensions, one to the left hand side and one to the right hand side. Is it possible that one gets a permission and the other doesn't? can they give a split decision?!! Thanks in advance

'if the height of the eaves of the enlarged part would exceed 3 meters' This wouldn't be permitted development But this is not about the extension roof, it already exist, so would the lantern be bound to not exceed the 3 meters in height on the existing roof!

Thank you DevilDamo, your suggestion makes more sense to me. However I will still be confused since this lantern skylight would be within less than two meters from the boundary party wall, in that case the height of the lantern shouldn't exceed 3 meters in height!! It wouldn't exceed the height of the original house though!

Thank you Temp and ToughButterCup for your responses, it is really helpful. I actually doubted it because the front elevation will look slightly different, but other than that it doesn't make sense to me!! How come this will need a permission, however adding a completely new extension ( with whatever roof I choice is considered permitted?! considering 'Side extensions to have a maximum height of 4m and width no more than half that of the original house'

I would like to install a lantern skylight over the kitchen space. the kitchen's roof is lower than the rest of the house's roof. It has a very shallow slope facing the front elevation. I know that I should seek Planning Permission if the 'the alteration would protrude more than 0.15 metres beyond the plane of the slope of the original roof when measured from the perpendicular with the external surface of the original roof' Knowing that the lantern wouldn't be higher than the highest part of the original roof. can anyone help, does this mean I have to seek planning permission or this is considered permitted development?
