Why it was refused

  1. The proposed first floor rear extension, by reason of its excessive depth, scale and siting adjacent to the shared boundary with No. 11 School Street, would result in an unacceptable overbearing and overshadowing impact upon the occupiers of the adjoining property. The proposal would significantly exceed the guidance contained within Supplementary Planning Guidance LDP7 for first floor rear extensions and would result in a substantial breach of the 45-degree guideline, causing a harmful loss of light and increased sense of enclosure to neighbouring habitable room windows. Accordingly, the proposal would be detrimental to the residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers and is therefore contrary to Policy CW2 of the Caerphilly County Borough Local Development Plan and the guidance contained within Supplementary Planning Guidance LDP7 Householder Development.

From the council's decision notice.
