Why it was refused

  1. The proposed side extension would not be acceptable due to its design, scale and positioning; it would fail to assimilate with the existing dwelling and would cause visual harm to the street scene and disrupt the building line of Barmouth Avenue. The proposal would be contrary to Core Strategy 2014 Policy CS03, emerging Leicester Local Plan 2026 policy DQP01, and National Planning Policy Framework (2024) Paragraphs 131, 135 and 139.
  2. The front extension would have an unacceptable impact on the amenity of adjacent dwelling 20 Barmouth Avenue. It would intersect the splay of a 45 degree line taken from the nearest edge of the neighbouring front principal room window, causing unacceptable impact on neighbouring outlook. This proposal would be contrary to Local Plan 2006 saved policy PS10, emerging Leicester Local Plan 2026 policy DQP06, the Residential Amenity SPD and paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
