Why it was refused
- The proposed rear dormer window and rear two storey and single storey extensions, by virtue of their bulk, mass, height, width, and design, would individually and cumulatively, fail to reflect the proportions, scale and size of the existing dwelling and would appear as dominant, top heavy, visually obtrusive and detrimental forms of development that would be harmful to the character and appearance of the property. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies HB1 and HB8 of the adopted Places and Policies Local Plan 2020 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
- The proposed two storey and single storey rear extensions, by virtue of their design, height, scale, location and relationship with the neighbouring properties windows, would amount to an obtrusive, dominant form of development, which would lead to a loss of light, and overbearing impact to no. 25 Ness Road, giving rise to detrimental harm to the residential amenities and living conditions of the occupiers of this property. The application is therefore contrary to policies HB1 and HB8 of the Places and Policies Local Plan.
From the council's decision notice.
