Why it was refused

  1. 1. The proposed development would, by reason of its size, siting and design, represent a ungainly, discordant and visually overbearing form of development that would be unsympathetic to the proportions and appearance of the host dwelling and unacceptably dominate the street scene. It would as a result be detrimental to the visual amenities of the area and be harmful to local character contrary to policy DM5 of the Worthing Local Plan, the Council's SPG 'Extending or Altering Your Home' and the relevant paragraphs of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. 2. Having regard to the size, orientation and positioning of the proposed dormer window the proposed development would result in an unneighbourly and intrusive degree of overlooking that would be detrimental to the amenities of the neighbouring occupier at 14 Alinora Crescent. As such the proposed development would be contrary to policy DM5 of the Worthing Local Plan, the Council's SPG 'Extending or Altering Your Home' and the relevant paragraphs of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
