About this application
This is a planning application for a single storey rear extension at 5 Rother Crescent, Gossops Green, Crawley. Crawley has handled 743 applications of this type. This one was decided in 42 days, 2 weeks quicker than Crawley's typical decision time. There are no previous applications recorded at this address.
Why it was refused
- The proposed rear extension by virtue of its relationship to the boundary, siting, massing and scale, would have a harmful impact upon the amenities of no. 7 Rother Crescent by way of loss of light, dominance, overbearing impact and loss of outlook, contrary to policy DD1 of the Crawley Borough Local Plan 2023-2040 and the guidance in the Urban Design Supplementary Planning Document.
From the council's decision notice.
