About this application
This is a planning application for a single storey rear extension at 118 Orchard Road South Ockendon Essex RM15 6HJ. Thurrock has handled 1,341 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. There have been 3 other applications at this address. We hold 150 applications in total for the RM15 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed single storey rear extension, by reason of its excessive rearward projection and siting, would have a detrimental and overbearing impact upon the adjoining neighbouring property of No.116 Orchard Road which would be harmful to the neighbour's amenities. By virtue of its excessive rearward projection and width it would also be harmful to the character of the existing dwelling and the appearance of the semi-detached pair and constitute an incongruous and domineering addition to the host dwelling. It is, therefore, contrary to Policies CSTP22, CSTP23, PMD1 and PMD2 of the adopted Core Strategy 2015, criteria in the adopted Residential Alterations & Extensions SPD September 2017 and the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.
From the council's decision notice.
