Why it was refused

  1. The proposed single storey extension due to its height, depth and proximity to the boundary would result in unacceptable harm and would be overbearing to the residential amenities of the occupants of the neighbouring property, contrary to policies D5 and H4 of the Local Plan Development Management Plan, the Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
