Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear terrace, by reason of its combined width and depth, covering the full area of existing rear decking at basement level, would result in a significantly harmful loss of light and overbearing impact upon the windows in the rear elevation of the basement flat of No.115 Coombe Vale Road, and would result in an unacceptable overshadowing impact upon the rear decking area of the basement flat of No.115 Coombe Vale Road. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policies S1 (Sustainable Development Criteria) and WE8 (Domestic Extensions, Ancillary Domestic Curtilage Buildings and Boundary Treatments) of the Teignbridge Local Plan 2013 – 2033, and Policy H12 (Residential Amenity) of the emerging Teignbridge Local Plan 2020 - 2040.

From the council's decision notice.
