Core Refusal Reason

Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed development's design, size, and scale are considered unsuitable given the site's context and proximity to adjoining properties.
- The extension would result in adverse impacts on neighbouring residents due to significant overshadowing and overlooking.
- The proposal is deemed to seriously injure the amenities and depreciate the value of property in the vicinity, making it contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
