Why it was refused

  1. The proposed first-floor extension, by reason of its siting, height and extent along the shared boundary with no.30, would result in a substantial and largely blank two-storey flank wall, giving rise to an overbearing and enclosing impact that would significantly harm the outlook and enjoyment of the neighbouring rear garden. This would exacerbate an already constrained relationship and result in an unacceptable loss of amenity, contrary to Policy D5 of Plan:MK.

From the council's decision notice.
