Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that, by reason of its combined depth with the existing extensions and the massing and proximity to the shared boundary, the proposed rear extensions would appear unduly dominant and overbearing when viewed from the adjoining dwelling and garden at No. 3 Stainburn Drive. The extension would result in significant loss of outlook and increased overshadowing to the rear-facing habitable room windows and private garden area of this neighbouring property. As such, the proposal would cause unacceptable harm to residential amenity, contrary to Policy P10 of the Core Strategy, Saved UDPR Policy GP5, Householder Design Guide SPD Policy HDG2, and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposed raised rear patio, due to its elevated height and siting in close proximity to the shared boundary with No. 3 Stainburn Drive, would allow direct and harmful overlooking into the neighbouring garden and rear-facing habitable room windows. The proposal therefore fails to protect the privacy of the adjoining occupants, contrary to Policy P10 of the Core Strategy, Saved UDPR Policy GP5, Householder Design Guide SPD Policy HDG2, and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
