Why it was refused
- The proposed extension by virtue of its depth, height, location and proximity to the common boundary would introduce a harmful overbearing impact and overshadowing of the rear garden amenity space and rear ground floor windows of no. 11 Heath Lane. It would also by virtue of its height, depth, proximity to the boundary and change in levels have a harmful overbearing and overshadowing impact on the rear garden amenity space no. 7 Heath Lane. It would therefore be contrary to policies M1, M2 and M10 of the Dartford Local Plan to 2037 and paragraph 7 of Part 1 Class A of the General Permitted Development Order and should be refused.
From the council's decision notice.
