Why it was refused

  1. The proposal's 4-metre depth would intersect a 45-degree line drawn in plan view from the nearest perpendicular neighbouring habitable room window at no. 6 Woodmarsh Close. The proposal would therefore be overbearing and would not safeguard the amenity of the existing development and neighbouring occupiers. As such, the proposal is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policy BCS21 of the Core Strategy (2011) and Policies DM27 and DM30 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Local Plan (2014). The development is also contrary to the guidance found within Supplementary Planning Document 2 (A Guide for Designing House Alterations and Extensions).

From the council's decision notice.
