Why it was refused
- The proposed roof terrace, by reason of its elevated position, proximity to neighbouring residential properties, and the direct overlooking opportunities it would create, would result in an unacceptable loss of privacy and a harmful perception of overlooking for the occupiers of adjoining dwellings. The development would enable clear views into neighbouring habitable room windows and private garden areas, causing material harm to residential amenity. As such, the proposal fails to secure a high standard of amenity for existing residents and is therefore contrary to Paragraph 135(f) of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), which seeks to ensure developments provide a high standard of amenity for existing and future users. Furthermore, the proposal is contrary to Policies SPL3 (Sustainable Design) and SP7 (Place Shaping Principles) of the Tendring District Local Plan 2013-2033 and Beyond, which require development to protect the amenity of neighbouring occupiers and avoid adverse impacts arising from overlooking, loss of privacy, and overbearing relationships.
From the council's decision notice.
