| 1. | The development proposed would have a significant adverse effect on the amenities of the neighbouring property by creating an overbearing and enclosing effect. The extension proposed would extend along the whole length of the neighbouring garden which would enclose the garden, given the heights of the walls and the lantern light, the effect would be significantly detrimental on the ability to enjoy the outside space. The design of the extension is contrived and not in keeping with the existing dwelling. The extension proposed, by virtue of size and location is out of character with the existing dwelling and significantly detrimental to the amenities of the adjoining property. |
| 2. | It is acknowledged that effort has been made to reduce the impact by digging down to reduce the height. However the height and size of the extension is out of character with the area giving an overly urban and closed in effect to the adjoining neighbour. For the reasons given above the development is refused as it does not comply with policy HOU18 of the Borough Wide Adopted Plan. |
| 3. | 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.
