| 1. | The development as proposed would have a significant detrimental effect on the amenities of the neighbouring dwelling by being overbearing and domineering. The form and mass of the development as proposed is out of character with the existing dwelling and would have a detrimental effect on the character of the area. The character of the area would be significantly affected by the size of the extension removing the space between the houses giving a cramped and contrived appearance to the dwelling. The erection of an extension of this size and height extending to the boundary would be out of keeping with the open character of the area. |
| 2. | The existing dwelling is designed to give an attractive and modest appearance which is in keeping with the street scene, the addition of an extension of this size is out of proportion and out of keeping with the design of the exiting dwelling. The development as proposed is contrary to policy HOU18 (i), (ii) and (iii) of the adopted Borough Wide Local 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. |
