3 Fieldhead Paddock Boston Spa Wetherby LS23 6SA

1. 1.The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed side extension, by reason of its scale, siting and lack of subservience to the host dwelling, would appear as an unduly prominent addition that would erode the important visual gap retained between the neighbouring dwelling which contributes positively to the spatial character of the street scene, resulting in an increased perception of terracing within an area characterised by detached dwellings. As such, the proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of both the host property and the wider street scene, contrary to Core Strategy Policies P10 and P12, Saved UDP Review Policies GP5 and BD6, Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD, Policy DES1 of the Boston Spa Neighbourhood Plan, and the National Planning Policy Framework regarding achieving well-designed places.
2. 2.The proposed first-floor side extension would, by reason of its scale, massing and proximity to neighbouring dwelling No. 5 Fieldhead Paddock, result in an overbearing form of development causing unacceptable harm to residential amenity through loss of outlook, daylight, and increased overshadowing. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy P10 of the Core Strategy, saved Policy GP5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 Plan (Review 2006), Policy HDG2 of the Householder Design Guide SPD, Policy DES1 of the Boston Spa Neighbourhood Plan and the amenity objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
