Why it was refused
- In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed development, by reason of its form, design, and layout, would result in an unneighbourly relationship with the neighbouring dwellings (Nos. 37 and 39 Woodfield Road), resulting in an overbearing and dominant appearance and loss of outlook to the occupiers of those properties. The proposal is therefore in conflict with Policies DM35 (Placemaking and Design Quality) and DM36 (Extensions and Alterations to Existing Dwellings) of the Wycombe District Local Plan (Adopted August 2019), the Householder Planning and Design Guidance SPD (Adopted January 2020), the Residential Design Guidance SPD (Adopted June 2017), and Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
- In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed two storey extension, by reason of its size, scale, design, substantial depth, and siting relative to the shared boundary with Nos. 37 and 39 Woodfield Road, would cast significant overshadowing upon these neighbours and present an unneighbourly form of development. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policies DM35 (Placemaking and Design Quality) and DM36 (Extensions and Alterations to Existing Dwellings) of the Wycombe District Local Plan (Adopted August 2019) and the Householder Planning and Design Guidance SPD (Adopted January 2020).
From the council's decision notice.
