Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension by reason of its size, siting, depth and height would result in a dominant and overbearing form of development having an unacceptable impact on the amenities of the adjoining properties Nos. 15 and 19 Wellstead Avenue through loss of light, outlook and overshadowing contrary to Policy DMD 8 and DMD 11 of the Development Management Document (2014) and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF 2024).

From the council's decision notice.
