Why it was refused
- By reason of the high eaves and shallow pitch of the proposed extension, the proposal would result in a poorly designed extension that would detract from the character and appearance of the existing dwelling. The proposal would additionally result in a contrived development with an awkward connection to the roof of the existing garage. Moreover, the proposal would result in an unacceptable level of harm to the character and appearance of the street scene and by reason of the cumulative impact of the subsequent wrap-around nature of the proposed extension in relation to the existing garage and structures, would result in a development that would appear to be fundamentally at odds with the spatial characteristics of the area. Furthermore, the extent of built form along the western boundary would result in an overdevelopment of the site and also form an overbearing sense of enclosure, to the detriment of the residential amenities of the neighbouring property, 57 Caspars Way. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policy ENV3 of the Local Plan 2016-2036 Part One: Planning Strategy for the New Forest District outside of the National Park.
From the council's decision notice.
