Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority considers that due to its proximity to the boundary with No. 703, the proposed two-storey side extension will close the gap between the two properties, creating a 'terracing effect' to the detriment of the streetscene, which is characterised by a regular rhythm of semi-detached pairs separated by driveways and garages offering glimpses of open land rising to the south. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide and to Core Strategy policy P10, in addition to saved policies GP5 and BD6 of the UDPRas well as policy within the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
