Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear extension, by virtue of its height and excessive depth on the boundary and its orientation to the south of No.66 Heol Camlan would result in significant overbearing and overshadowing impacts upon the occupiers of this property to the detriment of their living conditions contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025) and contrary to the adopted Placemaking Guidance for Householder Development Supplementary Planning Guidance (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
