| 1. | By virtue of the width (length of projection to the side of the property) and scale of the first-floor side extension, the proposal would have an over-dominant impact on the appearance of the host dwelling and would result in an visual imbalance, constituting poor design. The proposed mass of extension would be excessive and would not appear subordinate to the original house. As such, the proposal would fail to maintain or enhance the character and appearance of the building, street scene, its immediate surroundings and the wider area.
Therefore, the application is contrary to Core Strategy (2015) Policy CS9 and Local Plan Part 2 (2021) Policy H9, and must be refused in line with the requirements of paragraph 139 of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| 2. | The first floor side extension, would, by virtue of its overall width (length of projection to the side of the property) and close proximity to the adjoining boundary with the semi-detached neighbouring property, result in overshadowing and an unacceptable level of loss of light to the first floor north facing window of the adjoining property (2, Garfield Villa, Tan Lane). This would be significantly detrimental to their residential amenity and enjoyment of their property. The application is therefore contrary to Core Strategy (2015) Policy CS9, Local Plan Part 2 Policies H9 and A1 and National Planning Policy Framework Paragraph 135. |
| 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. |
