Why it was refused

  1. The proposals, by reason of their juxtaposition with neighbouring homes would result in a loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers at 8 Priory Road and would also fail to meet the reasonable privacy needs of future occupants of the new dwelling also being to the detriment of existing neighbours at 2A St Martins. For the reasons given proposals would be contrary to the requirements of Policy BCS21 of the Bristol Development Plan: Core Strategy (Adopted) June 2011; and Policies DM21, DM26, DM27 and DM29 of the Bristol Development Plan: Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Document (Adopted) July 2014 and the NPPF 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
