Why it was refused

  1. An objection has been received from a neighbouring property, and as such the proposal would require prior approval as to the impact of the proposed development on the amenity of any adjoining premises. The proposal has been assessed in regard to this impact, and by reason of its siting, scale, height and excessive depth would result in a detrimental loss of light, outlook and an overbearing and unneighbourly form of development, to the detriment of the amenity of the adjoining occupier at no. 48 Ashwood Road. Consequently, Prior approval is required and refused. This has been determined in relation to Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
