Why it was refused
- The proposed raised decked area, by virtue of its elevated nature and close proximity to two windows within the side elevation of the neighbouring dwelling (known as Dunstans), would provide users of the decked area with direct views into these windows, to the detriment of the privacy of the occupiers of Dunstans, contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019) and the Council's Placemaking Guidance for Householder Development (2021).
From the council's decision notice.
