| 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 criterion (i) of this policy in that the siting of the substantial extension comprising two bedrooms and hall well in advance of the established building line for this part of Brooke Avenue would be out of character with the surroundings and detrimental to the appearance of the street scene. It is also considered that the proposal is contrary to criterion (ii) in that the excessive forward projection of the extension together with the proximity of the extension to the northern boundary of the site is considered an unneighbourly and overbearing form of development detrimental to the residential amenities and outlook of the occupiers of the nearby properties. |
