Why it was refused
- The proposed development by virtue of the size and siting of the extension would result in a significant detrimental impact upon the residential amenity of 267 Abbey Lane as it would result in overshadowing and an overbearing impact upon the rear amenity space of the residential property. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Saved City of Leicester Local Plan (2006) Policy PS10 and NPPF Paragraph 135.
- In the absence of a Preliminary Bat Roost Assessment which fully assesses the proposed development including the construction of a dormer, insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate the proposed development would not adversely affect protected species. The proposal is therefore contrary to National Planning Policy Framework 2024 paragraph 187, Core Strategy policy CS17, Government Circular 06/2005 (Biodiversity and Geological Conservation) and GOV.UK guidance on "Bats: advice for making planning decisions".
- Insufficient information has been submitted to evidence that the residential amenity of neighbouring dwellings would not be unduly impacted by way of noise. the application is therefore contrary to Saved City of Leicester Local Plan (2006) policies PS10 and PS11 and NPPF Paragraph 135.
From the council's decision notice.
