| 1. | The use of the materials proposed, in particular the steel support framework, and the scale and height of the polycarbonate canopy, is uncharacteristic of the original dwellinghouse and the surrounding area. Therefore, the proposed extension would be detrimental to the design of the dwellinghouse and unsympathetic to the character of the surrounding area, having an industrial appearance in an otherwise domestic streetscene.
Due to the number of existing sheds/extensions already on the site, the proposal will create a cramped form of development resulting in a cluttered and overcrowded site.
The position and scale of the proposed extension in close proximity with the boundary of the site will have a significant overbearing effect on the amenities of the neighbouring property, by virtue of it's visual dominance.
Therefore for the reasons given above the proposed development is contrary to Policies HOU18 and BNV18 of the adopted Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
