Why it was refused

  1. The prior approval of the local authority is refused as it is considered that the proposed extension would result in unacceptable impacts to neighbouring amenity due to its depth and proximity to the neighbouring property of No. 144 Collins Meadow. It would be a highly visible, imposing structure and due to its disproportionate size in relation to both the neighbouring property and host property, the extension would be sited conspicuously along an extended distance of the shared boundary resulting in an un-neighbourly and oppressive relationship.
