Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development does not comply with all the criteria set out in Class AA, Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015, as amended. The proposal fails to comply with: AA.2 (2)(b) - the development must not include a window in any wall or roof slope forming a side elevation of the dwelling house AA.2 (3)(a)(i) - Amenity: The proposed extension by virtue of its height and introduction of additional fenestration openings to the front elevation and enlargement of fenestration openings to the rear would provide greater opportunity for overlooking and intrusion upon neighbouring privacy. Additionally, the significant increase of visual bulk and mass would result in an appearance that is highly visible and dominant within the locality. By virtue of its scale, the resultant dwelling would adversely harm the visual amenity and outlook of the neighbouring properties within the locality. As such the proposal would fail to comply with the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2025), and South Bucks District Local Plan policies EP3 and H11. GENERAL NOTE:- See the attached Appeal Notes for details of appealing this decision.

From the council's decision notice.
