Why it was refused

  1. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, by virtue of the inaccurate plan drawings and insufficient information submitted, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the harm to the light levels arising from the development can be mitigated to avoid adverse impact to the residential amenities of the adjacent neighbours, nos.5 and 9 Kitchener Roads ground floor kitchen and living room windows and first floor bedroom windows. As such, the proposal is considered an unneighbourly development that would be contrary to the Adopted Local Plan (Wycombe)(August 2019) DM35 (Placemaking and Design Quality) and DM36 (Extensions and Alterations to Existing Dwellings), Adopted Householder Planning and Design Guidance (January 2020).
  2. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, by reason of the increased shortfall of the on-site parking provision and that no information has been submitted and demonstrate alternative off-site parking is available for the application site, the lack of available parking would be harmful to the amenity provision for the existing and future occupiers of the application dwelling. The proposal is contrary to the Adopted Local Plan (Wycombe)(August 2019) DM35 (Placemaking and Design Quality) and DM36 (Extensions and Alterations to Existing Dwellings), Adopted Householder Planning and Design Guidance (January 2020).

From the council's decision notice.
