Core Refusal Reason
The proposed retention constitutes overdevelopment of the site due to excessive scale, design, and bulk, resulting in adverse impacts on residential amenity and character.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The scale, design, and site coverage of the extensions and shed represent overdevelopment that is out of character with the existing dwelling and surrounding area.
- The development gives rise to undue overlooking of adjoining properties and constitutes inappropriate development along the site boundary.
- The proposal seriously injures the amenities of the area and is contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the locality.
