Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension to form a two storey house would, by reason of its scale, bulk, height and design, result in a dominant and cramped form of development which would be out of keeping with the character and appearance of the street scene. The proposal would therefore be contrary to policy 15 of the Adur Local Plan and 'Supplementary Planning Guidance' comprising: Development Management Standard No.1 'Space Around New Dwellings and Flats' and No.2 'Extensions and Alterations to Dwellings'
  2. The proposed extension, by reason of its scale, bulk and height, would have an overbearing impact on the occupiers of 117 Connaught Avenue to the detriment of their residential amenities. The proposal would therefore be contrary to policy 15 of the Adur Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
