Why it was refused

  1. The proposed single-storey rear extension, by reason of its excessive depth, its height and siting on the boundary with neighbouring properties, would result in a harmful loss of daylight and sunlight to No. 83 Cottrell Road. The extension would significantly breach the 45-degree guideline , resulting in an unacceptable impact upon loss of light. Due to its projection of approximately 8 metres with no boundary setback, would appear visually overbearing and create an unacceptable sense of enclosure. The development would therefore have an unacceptable adverse impact on the amenities of neighbouring occupiers and would fail to provide appropriate levels of outlook and amenity The development is therefore contrary to the NPPF (2024); Policy BCS21 of the adopted Core Strategy 2011 and policies DM27 and DM30 of the adopted Site Allocations and Development Management Policies 2014 as well as guidance within SPD2 A Guide for Designing House Alterations and Extensions (October 2005) Advice(s)

From the council's decision notice.
