| 1. | The proposed extension would be located close to the boundary to no.8 Brasenose Avenue and due to the set back between the neighbour and the subject property this would result in an increased sense of enclosure and overshadowing to the front of no.8 Brasenose Avenue, particularly to the front, upstairs window closest to the boundary which would be harmful to the amenity of occupants in that room. This is contrary to the aims of Core Policy CS09 F and adopted Local Plan Part 2 Policy A1. |
| 2. | The proposed extension would result in the imbalance of the semidetached dwellings due to creating a lack of subservience in the appearance of the extension, which could have been offset by a step back in the front elevation and reduced ridge height. Of particular concern is the 0.5 metre wide 6.3 m high wall which is jarring and adds further bulk to the front elevation. In combination, the full scale, mass and positioning of the extension causes the development to appear discordant with the existing dwelling and its neighbour and out of character with the form and scale of the pairs of semidetached dwellings along this part of the street frontage. This is contrary to adopted policy H9 A which seeks to ensure that extensions maintain or enhance the character and appearance of the building, street scene, its immediate surroundings and the wider townscape or landscape. |
| 3. | STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT (REFUSALS): 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. |
