Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear extension, by reason of its excessive depth, height and proximity to the shared boundary, would result in an overbearing form of development that would cause unacceptable loss of daylight and sunlight, increased overshadowing, and a harmful sense of enclosure to the neighbouring occupiers at No. 2 Highridge Green. The development would therefore be detrimental to the residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers, contrary to Policy BCS21 of the Bristol Core Strategy (2011), Policy DM30 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Plan (2014), Paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), and the guidance set out within SPD2: A Guide for Designing House Alterations and Extensions (2005).

From the council's decision notice.
