Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two storey side and rear extension, by reason of its size, siting and relationship with the neighbouring property, would have an unneighbourly, overbearing and dominant impact on No.16, (including the amenity area) that would be unduly harmful to the amenities currently enjoyed by the occupiers of the property. For these reasons the proposal is contrary to Policy P14 of the Solihull Local Plan 2013, SPD House Extension Guidelines 2010 and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
