Why it was refused

  1. The proposed insertion of two high-level windows within the western elevation of the building, which forms the immediate boundary with a neighbouring residential garden, would result in an unacceptable perception of overlooking, loss of privacy and an overbearing impact to the detriment of the amenities of the adjoining occupier. Whilst the windows are proposed to be obscurely glazed and fitted with restricted opening mechanisms, these measures would not overcome the harm arising from the close and unusual relationship between the building and the neighbouring garden. Furthermore, the proposal would introduce the potential for increased noise disturbance. 25/11100 The development is therefore contrary to Policy ENV3 (criterion ii) of the Local Plan, which seeks to ensure that new development does not result in unacceptable adverse impacts on residential amenity.

From the council's decision notice.
