| 1. | Policy HOU19 of the Modified Deposit Version of the Borough-Wide Plan states that extensions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where the proposal: (A) is in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the character of the area; (B) would not significantly affect the amenities of any neighbouring dwelling; and (C) would not result in over-development of the site. The proposal is contrary to the objectives of this policy in that the two-storey extension would, in view of its height and close proximity to the (eastern) site boundary, have an overbearing and oppressive effect on the outlook from the adjoining residential property, and the additional adverse effect of overshadowing the north and west facing windows of that dwelling and its garden. Also, the close proximity of the proposed extension/living space to the neighbouring dwelling would result in further loss of residential amenity for the occupiers thereof by reason of noise, disturbance and possible smoke nuisance. |
