1 Lancaster Road Cockerham Lancaster Lancashire LA2 0EB

1. 1.The proposed development, by reason of its cumulative scale, massing, roof alterations and overall design approach, would result in an overly dominant, unbalanced and visually incongruous form of development that fails to respond positively to the character and appearance of the host dwelling or the surrounding area. The proposal would not represent high quality design and would be detrimental to local distinctiveness, contrary to Policy DM29 of the Lancaster District Local Plan Part Two: Development Management DPD and Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. 2.The proposed rear dormer and first­floor balcony, by virtue of their height, siting and orientation, would introduce direct and elevated views towards neighbouring dwellings and private amenity spaces. This would result in unacceptable levels of overlooking and a material loss of privacy and overbearing impact to adjacent occupiers. The proposal therefore fails to maintain an acceptable level of residential amenity, contrary to Policy DM29 of the Lancaster District Local Plan Part Two: Development Management DPD and Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework. 26/00324/FUL ADVICE This planning application has been determined based on the following plans: ­ 003 Revision B ­ Proposed Two Storey Side Extension, Dormer Roof Conversion and Internal Alterations ­ Proposed Plan ­ 004 ­ Proposed Two Storey Side Extension, Dormer Roof Conversion and Internal Alterations ­ Site and Location Plan ARTICLE 35 – DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE ORDER Please see the attached statement which forms part of your decision notice.
