Why it was refused
- The scale, height and cumulative massing of the proposed loft and rear extensions would result in an overly dominant form of development. The proposal would give rise to unacceptable overbearing and overshadowing impacts on the neighbouring occupiers at No. 74 Alexandra Street, to the detriment of their residential amenity. The proposal is contrary to Policy 8(e)(i) 26/00279/HFUL and (ii) of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy, and paragraph 135 of the NPPF.
- The cumulative scale, height and massing of the proposed extensions would result in an overly dominant and visually discordant feature within the context of the host dwelling. The extensions fail to read as a subordinate addition and would appear incongruous when viewed in relation to the existing dwelling and the prevailing built form within the conservation area. The lack of visual containment and the encroachment of built form at loft level would erode the established character of the host building and its surroundings, resulting in harm to the significance of the host dwelling and less than substantial harm to the Burton Latimer Conservation Area. This harm has not been clearly and convincingly justified, and no public benefits have been identified that would outweigh the statutory and policy harm identified. The proposal is contrary to Policies 2, 8(d)(i), 8(d)(ii) and 8(e)(i) and (ii) of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy, paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), the National Design Guide, and the statutory duty set out in Section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
