Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension, by virtue of its scale, height and position at the boundary of no.7 Oakwood Avenue would lead to an unacceptable overbearing impact and would result in unacceptable loss of light at the neighbouring property. The proposed works would have a significantly harmful impact on the current and future occupiers of no.7 Oakwood Avenue. The proposed development therefore fails to comply with Policy BCS21 of Bristol's Core Strategy 2011, Policy DM30 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies 2014, as well as guidance found within SPD2, A Guide for Designing House Alterations and Extensions, and the NPPF (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
