Why it was refused

  1. The proposed first floor rear extension, by reason of its projection and position along the shared boundary with the adjoining dwelling would result in an overbearing and oppressive impact along with overshadowing in the morning on the bedroom window of the adjoining 14 Bevor Crescent to the detriment of the amenity of the occupants. To permit the proposals would be contrary to Policy LP24 of the Kirklees Local Plan, KDP5 & KDP6 of the House Extensions & Alterations SPD and Chapter 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
