Why it was refused
- The proposed extension by reason of its scale, depth, position and design would be out of character with this bungalow and its neighbours and as such would cause visual harm to the local area. In addition, the scale, depth and proximity to neighbouring boundaries would result in an overbearing impact and increased overlooking for neighbours and a loss of light to No. 19. The proposal is therefore contrary to policy 15 of the Adur Local Plan, adopted Development Management Standard No. 2 - Extensions and Alterations to Dwellings and the relevant paragraphs of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
