Why it was refused
- The development, as indicated on plans numbers 10CORN/01, 10CORN/02, 10CORN/03, 10CORN/04 by reason of its size, scale, depth and siting in close proximity to the shared boundary, would result in an unacceptable level of harm to the residential amenities of the adjoining property, in particular No. 11 Corncrake Close. The proposal would cause overshadowing, visual intrusion and a loss of outlook to the rear-facing habitable room window and rear amenity space, resulting in an overbearing and oppressive form of development. The proposal would therefore fail to adequately minimise harm to neighbouring amenity and would be contrary to 13th April 2026 See Notes for Applicants Attached.
