Why it was refused
- The proposed front, side and rear extensions when viewed holistically, by virtue of the scale, bulk and design would result in an overly bulky and dominant development which relates poorly to the immediate context of the site to the detriment of both visual amenity and the character and appearance of the surrounding area in conflict with policy BE14 of the BLP, the NPPF and the NDG.
- The proposed accumulation of two-storey extension to the side and rear by reason of its bulk and proximity to the boundary would result in a building of a mass and design that would be overbearing on the neighbour dwelling No. 306 Ongar Road, and would result in a loss of light and outlook to the flank facing windows, and is therefore harmful to the amenity of the occupiers of these dwelling and in conflict with Local Plan Policy BE14.
From the council's decision notice.
