Why it was refused

  1. The proposed raised terrace, by virtue of its elevated position, scale and siting in relation to surrounding private rear gardens, and privacy screening design, would result in unacceptable levels of direct and perceived overlooking and loss of privacy to neighbouring amenity contrary to Policy DM30 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies (2014).

From the council's decision notice.
