Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear balcony overlooks a total of four windows belonging to the semi- detached houses 104 and 106 Forge Close. The distance between the rear plane of 11 Elliot Drive and the distance between the rear plane of 104/106 Forge Close is 20.9 metres. According to Section 1.8 of Appendix 6 of the Adopted Core Strategy - the minimum required distance between three-storey dwelling with facing windows is 28m. This minimum distance was used because the previously identified section also states that standards relate to the higher level of development - in this case the three storey criteria applies. The distance between the properties is below the stated minimum required distance and is therefore a breach of privacy.
  2. The proposed side dormer is not in in keeping with the neighbouring houses within the area and would represent an incongruous addition harming the visual amenity and character of the streetscene contrary to Policy EQ4 and EQ11 of the Core Strategy 2012 and the Design SPD 2018.

From the council's decision notice.
