Why it was refused

  1. The windows proposed to the front elevation of the two storey side extension would overlook into the rear garden and private amenity space at no. 16 Kentmore Close to an unacceptable degree, resulting in an unacceptable loss of privacy to the occupiers of no. 16 Kentmore Close. The proposal is therefore contrary to policy SIE-1 'quality places' of the adopted core strategy DPD and saved policy CDH1.8 'residential extensions' of the Stockport Unitary Development Plan Review.
  2. The two storey side extension, by reason of its size, scale, massing, height, and siting in close proximity to the common boundary would have a detrimental overbearing impact upon the private rear gardens at no. 48 and 50 Woodlands Road, resulting in an unacceptable degree of overshadowing and loss of daylight. The proposal is therefore contrary to policy SIE-1 'quality places' of the adopted core strategy DPD and saved policy CDH1.8 'residential extensions' of the Stockport Unitary Development Plan Review.

From the council's decision notice.
