Core Refusal Reason
The development constitutes substandard residential development due to inadequate private open space, a total lack of off-street parking, and significant negative impacts on the amenities of adjoining properties through overshadowing and the loss of existing garden space.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposal would result in the total loss of private rear garden space for the existing dwelling at No. 5 Chapel Lane, while providing inadequate and poor-quality amenity space for the proposed new dwelling.

- The scale and positioning of the two-storey structure would cause significant overshadowing and injury to the residential amenities of the existing terrace of houses.
