155 Efflinch Lane

1. 1.Visual Amenities The development fails to respect the design, character and form of the host dwelling given the height and overall scale of the extension, would create an intrusive feature in the street scene to the detriment of the character and appearance of the locality and the host dwelling. As such, the proposal is contrary to policies which seek to secure high quality design and development that responds positively to its context. For the reasons set out, the proposal would have an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area. As such it fails to comply with the relevant provisions of Policies SP24, DP1 & DP3 of the East Staffordshire Local Plan and Paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework which, amongst other things, requires development to be of high-quality design that compliments the style of the existing dwelling and surrounding area.
2. 2.Residential Amenities The scale of the proposed rear extension, is such that it would result in unacceptable overshadowing resulting in a loss of light to the neighbouring property. The proposal would therefore have a detrimental impact on the amenities of occupiers of the adjoining property contrary to East Staffordshire Local Plan Policies SP1 and DP3, the East Staffordshire Design Guide, the Separation Distances and Amenity SPD, and the National Planning Policy Framework This application is refused by the under signed under powers delegated by the Borough Council in accordance with the provisions of Section 101 of the Local Government Act 1972.
