Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extensions, by virtue of their siting, excessive size and poor design, would not enhance the quality of places and spaces or respond positively to aspects of local context and character. The proposed extensions are considered to be unduly large and not subservient to the host property and represents unsympathetic and incongruous additions to the property, to the detriment of its character and appearance and the visual amenities of the area. This is contrary to Policy PS 2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan 2010-2025 and the Council's Placemaking Guidance for Householder Development (2021).
  2. The proposed roof lights serving Bedroom 3 would cause unreasonable levels of overlooking into the amenity space of 34 Heol y Fran, resulting in significant loss of privacy that would be detrimental to the residential amenity and health and well being of occupiers of this neighbouring property. This is contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan 2010-2025 and the Council's Placemaking Guidance for Householder Development (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
