Why it was refused

  1. The proposed first floor roof top terrace would, by reason of the site’s elevated position and the proximity to the neighbouring property to the south, result in an unacceptable degree of overlooking and loss of privacy to the detriment of the living conditions enjoyed by the occupiers of that property. As such the proposal is contrary to policy DEV1 of the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan 2019 – 2034, the relevant sections of the Joint Local Plan Supplementary Planning Document, policy TP1.1 of the Thurlestone Parish Neighbourhood Plan and paragraph 135 of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
