Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear extension, by reason of its size and footprint, would result in an insufficient rear amenity space. This would have an unacceptable impact on the amenity and living conditions of occupiers at the host property. As such, the proposal is contrary to Saved Policy PS10 of the City of Leicester Local Plan (2006) and Leicester’s Residential Amenity SPD (2008).
  2. The Flood Risk Assessment, submitted as part of the application, has not been completed in accordance with Preparing a flood risk assessment: standing advice - GOV.UK. No assessment of modelled flood level data has been provided and, as such, flood risk has not been adequately assessed. The application fails to demonstrate that the proposal would not adversely increase the risk of flooding contrary to paragraph 181 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024) and Core Strategy (2014) Policy CS02.

From the council's decision notice.
