Why it was refused
- The proposal, by virtue of its projection, would result in an unacceptable overbearing and overshadowing impact on 44 Thomas Street, to the detriment of the residential amenity of the occupants of that property. To permit the proposal would be contrary to Policy LP24 of the Kirklees Local Plan, Principles 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the adopted House Extensions and Alterations SPD, and advice within Chapter 17 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

No amendments were sought as it was considered that the proposal was acceptable as submitted.
