Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by reason of the cumulative impact of the lack of natural light to the basement level and lack of outlook to the living room within the basement, as well as the limited outdoor amenity space, would not provide a high standard of amenity for future occupants. This is considered contrary to policy CG4 of the Core Strategy, JP-P1 of Places for Everyone and the guidance contained within the General Design Principles SPD, together with the wider aims of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
