Why it was refused

  1. During the consultation objections were received concerning potential loss of light and visual amenity as a result of the proposal extension. The residential amenities of neighbouring occupiers have been assessed and it is considered that the proposed single-storey rear extension by reason of its design, scale, height, excessive depth and proximity to the boundary with No 130 Ashwood Road would result in a loss of light and outlook and an unneighbourly form of development to the detriment of the amenity of adjoining occupiers. Consequently, prior approval is 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.
