72 Delhi Road Pitsea Basildon Essex SS13 2EQ

1. 1.One objection has been received from neighbouring residents, raising concerns about increased noise and disturbance, loss of privacy, overdevelopment, and the proximity of the proposal to the boundary. As a neighbour objection was received, the Local Planning Authority is only able to assess the proposal on the grounds of the impact on residential amenity of adjoining properties only. Policy BAS BE12 of the Basildon District Local Plan Saved Policies recommends that planning permission for new residential development, and for the alteration and extension of existing dwellings, will be refused if it causes material harm in any of the following ways:- i. Harm to the character of the surrounding area, including the street scene; ii. Overlooking; iii. Noise or disturbance to the occupants of neighbouring dwellings; iv. Overshadowing or over-dominance; and v. Traffic danger or congestion. In this case the proposal involves the construction of a single storey rear extension projecting out to a depth of 6 metres deep across the width of the rear of the property. The details submitted state that it would have a maximum height of 3.74 metres and an eaves height of 2.79 metres. The extension would be sited up to the adjoining property boundary of No. 74 Delhi Road. With regard to the impact upon the immediate neighbour to the south, No. 70, the proposed extension is of single storey form and is approximately 1.4 metre set away from this neighbouring property's garden boundary, the proposed extension is not considered to cause detriment to the visual or residential amenities of these neighbouring occupiers. However, in respect of the adjoining neighbouring property No. 74 Delhi Road, the proposed extension will be sited on the boundary of this neighbour, notwithstanding the intervening 2 metre high fence at No. 74, at 6 metres in depth, the proposed rear extension would over-dominate the outlook enjoyed by the occupiers of this adjoining property and appear overbearing to this immediate adjacent neighbour. Therefore, the proposed rear extension by reason of its siting and depth would have an unacceptable impact on the amenities enjoyed by the occupiers of the adjoining dwelling, No. 74. The development would result in material harm to the residential amenities of the adjoining occupiers by way of over-dominance. As such the proposed rear extension would not comply with the Council's Local Plan Saved Policies. Prior approval is therefore refused for the proposed development.

From the council's decision notice.
