Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes overdevelopment of a side garden site, resulting in an overbearing impact on the adjacent property and providing substandard private open space for future residents.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed dwelling's design and scale would create an overbearing appearance, negatively impacting the residential amenity of the neighboring property at No. 42.
- The development provides insufficient private open space in terms of garden area and depth, failing to meet the minimum standards required for a new dwelling.
- The project represents overdevelopment of the site and would set an undesirable precedent for similar inappropriate developments in the area.
