existing dwelling and its setting, and would perpetuate a visually
unsatisfactory type of development (previously used elsewhere in this
locality) which is considered to be contrary to the aims of the Deposit
Version of the Borough-Wide Plan as set out in Policies UDN3 and UDN5.
Furthermore, it is considered that the proposal would also be contrary to
the objectives of Policy HOU19 of the Local Plan as, in addition to the
above mentioned design aspect, the creation of first floor windows,
particularly at the rear, would introduce a degree of overlooking which
would be unneighbourly and detrimental to the amenities of adjacent
residential properties. |
