| 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. The proposal is contrary to criteria (i) and (ii) of this policy in that the construction of a full gable to the east elevation of the extension would be out of keeping with design of the existing dwelling and would have an overbearing and oppressive effect on the outlook from the adjoining property to the east. The proposal is also contrary to criterion (ii) in that the construction of a first floor balcony in front of french windows would provide a degree of overlooking of the adjoining property to the west of the application site which would be unneighbourly and detrimental to the amenities of the occupier(s) thereof. |
