Has anyone dealt with a historic commission denying a renovation/addition primarily over massing?

We’re renovating a historic home and proposed a rear addition. The plans comply with the applicable guidelines/code, but the commission denied the proposal based largely on concerns about the overall massing/scale of the addition.

I’m curious if anyone here has been through something similar. If so- Were you able to get approval by revising the massing without completely redesigning the project?
