The substantial bulk and disproportionate appearance of the L-shaped roof extension at this highly visible corner plot location would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, conflicting with development plan policies requiring complementary scale and positive visual impact.

- Policy 7.4 of the DPD1Policy 7B of the DPD1Policy D3 of the London Plan (adopted 2021)Policy D4 of the London Plan
