Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear extension is considered to give rise to a significant material and harmful impact on 38 Field Road in terms of proximity and mass and bulk giving rise to an overbearing hemming in effect and loss of light and outlook to the bedroom window. The proposed extension is thereby considered unacceptable having regard to the criteria set out in Policy DE1 (Design in the Built Environment) of the Rushmoor Local Plan and the guidance set out in the Councils Supplementary Planning Document Home Improvements and Extensions, adopted 2020.

From the council's decision notice.
