Why it was refused

  1. The cumulative impacts of the house extensions constructed at No.3 Ufton Close in conjunction with the detached rear outbuilding positioned up to the boundary with No.1 Ufton Close cause harm to neighbour amenity by reason of overbearing impacts and loss of privacy. The proposal therefore fails to protect the amenity of existing neighbours and is contrary to Policy P14(i) of the Solihull Local Plan.
  2. The dormer extension and outbuilding have introduced built form with excessive scale, mass and bulk out of keeping to the character of the existing house and rear garden area. The proposal therefore fails to conserve and enhance local character and distinctiveness conflicting with Policy P15 of the Solihull Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
