Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two storey side extension would represent an overly dominant addition which overwhelms the appearance of the host dwelling and reduces the set space between itself and No.58 Church Walk South. It would also result in a cramped appearance and proposal of poor design to the detriment of its appearance within the street scene. The proposal is therefore considered to conflict with Policies SD1 and DE1 of the Swindon Borough Local Plan 2026, the Residential Extension and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document (2011) and the NPPF (2024).
  2. The proposed two storey side extension is considered to result in harm to residential amenity of occupiers of No.58 Church Walk South as the proposed would be overbearing and result in a poor outlook of first floor habitable room and front amenity space. The proposal is therefore considered to conflict with Policy SD1 and DE1 of the Swindon Borough Local Plan 2026, the Residential Extension and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document (2011) and the NPPF (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
