Planning Decision
Why it was refused
- By virtue of its height and bulk the proposed development would not be a sympathetic or subservient addition to the existing dwellinghouse. The development therefore fails to accord Cotswold District Local Plan Policy EN2 and guidance within Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
- By virtue of the close proximity and physical relationship to the neighbouring residential properties of no. 44 and no.46 Melville, the proposed development would adversely affect their residential amenity through the loss of daylight and overbearing impact. It therefore fails to accord with Cotswold District Local Plan Policy EN2 and guidance within Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
