1.Policy HOU18 of the Borough-Wide Local Plan (adopted by the Borough Council on 23rd February 2001) states that extensions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where the proposal: (i) is in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the character of the area; (ii) would not significantly affect the amenities of any neighbouring dwelling; and, (iii) would not result in over-development of the site. Policy BNV18 0f the plan states that the Council will require alterations and extensions to buildings to be sympathetic to the character of the building to be extended and to its setting. The proposed substantial roof extension, would by reason of its size, design and external appearance be out of scale and character with the existing terraced house and thereby be contrary to criterion (i) of Policy HOU18 and Policy BNV18 of the Local Plan. The creation of an additional second floor room with its consequent window would introduce a hitherto absent and unacceptable degree of overlooking of adjacent private garden areas. The proposal would therefore be contrary to criterion (ii) of Policy HOU18 of the Local Plan.
