Why it was refused

  1. The proposal is contrary to Policy 14 of National Planning Framework 4 as the proposed dwellinghouse as a result of its footprint relative to the size of the site: (i) represents over- development of the site; (ii) has insufficient garden ground; and (iii) has a dominant and over- bearing impact on the neighbouring dwellinghouse at the rear at 206 Mearns Road. There are no material considerations to outweigh and allow approval of the proposal against this policy.
  2. The proposal is contrary to Policies D1 and D1.2 of the adopted East Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2 as: (i) the proposed dwellinghouse as a result of the size of its footprint relative to the size of the site, represents over-development of the site; (ii) the proposed dwellinghouse as a result of its distance to the rear boundary of the site combined with its elevated position would be a dominant and over-bearing feature when viewed from the adjacent property at the rear at 206 Mearns Road. There are no material considerations to outweigh and allow approval of the proposal against these policies.
  3. The proposal is contrary to Policies D1 and D2 of the adopted East Renfrewshire Local Plan 2 as the elevated position of the proposed dwellinghouse combined with the height of the house and the number and position of the rear facing windows will adversely affect the amenity of the existing residential properties at the rear at 204 and 206 Mearns Road through loss of privacy. There are no material considerations to outweigh and allow approval of the proposal against these policies.
  4. The proposal is contrary to Policy D6 of the adopted East Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2 and its supporting Supplementary Guidance: Green Networks (June 2023) as it
