About this application
This is a planning application for a new dwelling at 25 Crown Hills Avenue. Leicester has handled 2,222 applications of this type. This one was decided in 38 days, 3 weeks quicker than Leicester's typical decision time. The site is in a conservation area. There has been 1 other application at this address. In the past year there have been 42 applications across North Evington.
Why it was refused
- The proposed single storey 6m deep rear extension with 2.7m high eaves height along the boundary of 27 Crown Hills Avenue would result in an adverse impact on the residential amenity of the occupiers of 27 Crown Hills Avenue in terms of overbearing impact, loss of light, and impact on outlook. Taking these factors into account, it would be contrary to Policies DQP01 and DQP06 of the Leicester Local Plan (2026) and policy P3 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2026, which requires development to afford a high standard of amenity for existing and future occupiers.
From the council's decision notice.
