| 1. | Policy HOU19 of the Modified Deposit Version of the Borough-Wide Local Plan
states that extensions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where
the proposal:
(A) is in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the
character of the area;
(B) would not significantly affect the amenities of any neighbouring
dwelling; and,
(C) would not result in over-development of the site.
The proposal is contrary to the objectives of this policy in that the
extension, by virtue of its size and positioning hard-up to the boundary
with the adjoining property to the north west, would have an overbearing
and oppressive effect on the outlook from that property. Moreover, the
consequent, and relatively large, first floor windows would provide a
degree of overlooking which would be unneighbourly and detrimental to the
amenities of adjoining and nearby properties. |
