| 1. | Given the locality and surrounding area the addition of a two storey extension so far removed from the existing dwelling would be out of keeping with the surrounding area. The proposed development, by virtue of its size in relation to the existing dwelling, would be out of character with the existing dwelling and as such the development is contrary to Policy HOU18 (i) of the adopted Borough Wide Local Plan. |
| 2. | The proximity of the proposed development in relation to the property to the north of the application site would have a significant adverse impact on the neighbouring property by being overbearing and significantly reducing the light and ability to enjoy the rear curtilage. The window to the second storey of the proposed extension would significantly effect the privacy of the neighbour to the north of the application site by virtue of size, location and orientation. Given these facts the proposed development is contrary to Policy HOU18 (ii) of the adopted Borough Wide Local Plan. |
| 3. | Although the curtilage of the site is larger than some within the locality the proposed development, in the location applied for, would constitute an over development of the site. The height adjacent the boundary would create a built up environment akin to back land development utilising a large proportion of the available land. As such the proposed development is contrary to Policy HOU18 (iii) of the adopted Borough Wide Local Plan. |
| 4. | STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT: In accordance with the NPPF, in determining this application for planning permission, the Borough Council has approached it in a positive and proactive way and where possible has sought solutions to problems to achieve the aim of approving sustainable development. Unfortunately, despite this, in this particular case the development is not considered to represent sustainable or an acceptable form of development and has been refused for the reasons set out above. |
