Why it was refused

  1. The development, by reason of its size, scale, proportions and proximity, would have an unacceptable detrimental impact on the amenity of the adjoining neighbour at 53 Malcolm Avenue in terms of a combination of overbearingness and oppressiveness and a degree of overshadowing contrary to Policy D5 of the Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations, Policy HE7 of the House extensions SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework. Article 35 Declaration The proposal would not improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area nor does it comply with the development plan and therefore does not comprise sustainable development. There were no amendments to the scheme, or conditions which could reasonably have been imposed, which could have made the development acceptable and it was therefore not possible to approve the application.

From the council's decision notice.
