Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear extension, by virtue of its depth, height and proximity to the boundary, would result in an overdominant, overbearing and un neighbourly form of development which would cause unacceptable overshadowing, and loss of privacy to the occupiers of no. 13A Harvey Road contrary to policy D5 and D4 of the Local Plan: Development Management Policies 2023, the Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD 2018, and the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
