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. In this instance given the restricted nature of the site and the proximity of the proposed additions to the site boundaries, the proposals would constitute overdevelopment of the site contrary to criterion (iii) of the above mentioned policy. The proposals because of their relationship to the adjacent bungalow (No 1A Hawthorn Crescent), would also constitute an unneighbourly form of development which would have an overbearing and oppressive effect on the outlook from this property, as well as resulting in a loss of daylight and sunlight for the occupiers thereof. The development would therefore also be contrary to criterion (ii) of Policy HOU18.
