Core Reason for the Refused Part
The proposed single-storey rear extension was refused due to its excessive scale, length, and inadequate separation from the boundary, which would result in a visually intrusive development that fails to respect the character of the existing dwelling.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The extension's excessive length and scale, coupled with insufficient separation from the northern boundary, would create a visually intrusive form.
- The development fails to respect the scale and character of the original dwelling and would negatively impact the sense of openness between properties.
- Granting permission would set an undesirable precedent for similar inappropriate extensions, contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
