| 1. | Policy HOU19 of the Modified Deposit Version of the Borough-Wide Local 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 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 proposals are contrary to the objectives of this policy in that (a) the garage and porch link would, by virtue of its size and considerable forward projection from the existing dwelling, be an inappropriate form of development in the street scene, particularly in view of the relatively more spacious character of property on and immediately adjacent to Fairway in this peripheral locality within the village; (b) the boundary wall would, in terms of its length, height and type of construction, be out of keeping with the character of existing development in Fairway; and (c) the garage and porch link would, by reason of the length of its forward projection, height and close proximity to the boundary with the adjacent property, have an overbearing and oppressive effect on the outlook from the adjacent dwelling, which would adversely affect the occupants of that dwelling to an unreasonable degree.
