Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two storey side extension, by virtue of its excessive scale combined with its discordant form and design, would represent a contrived and awkward form of development that would fail to respect the character and appearance of the host dwelling, to the detriment of the visual amenities of the area, contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019) and the Council's Placemaking Guidance for Householder Development (2021).
  2. The proposed side extension, by virtue of its height and close proximity to the common boundary with 22 Langland Court Road, would have an overbearing and overshadowing impact on the rear garden area serving this neighbouring dwelling, to the detriment of the living conditions of its occupiers, contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019) and the Council's Placemaking Guidance for Householder Development (2021).
  3. The applicant has failed to provide a Green Infrastructure Statement as part of this planning application, and has therefore failed to demonstrate how the scheme would contribute to the protection, maintenance and enhancement of biodiversity and the resilience of ecosystems. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Future Wales Policy 9, Chapter 6 of Planning Policy Wales, and Policies PS2, ER2 and ER9 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019).
  4. The applicant has failed to provide a European protected species survey of the site and there is therefore insufficient information provided to assess the impact of the proposal on protected species (bats). The Local Planning Authority is therefore unable to adequately consider the potential impact of the development on a European protected species, contrary to Policy ER8 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019).

From the council's decision notice.
