Planning Decision

Decision
PD42 - Prior Approval Refused
Case Officer
Kirsty Selwood

Why it was refused

  1. The application has received objections from neighbours relating to residential amenity. As such it is considered that prior approval is required as to the impact of the proposed extension on the amenity of any adjoining premises. It has been determined that by reason of its depth, height and siting, the proposals would have a detrimental impact to residential amenity of the neighbouring properties. Consequently, prior approval has been refused.

From the council's decision notice.
