Council planners agreed with concerns about privacy and believed the development would be over-dominant and out of keeping with the character of the area.
The new development would present a continuous line of houses with limited gaps between them, facing away from Scammonden Road, said the planners.
Any comments made on the original application have been forwarded to the Planning Inspectorate and the appellant and will be taken into account by the Inspector when they make their decision.
