About this application

This is a planning application for a rear extension at 22 Arundel Drive Corringham Essex SS17 7PG. Thurrock has handled 1,338 applications of this type.

We hold 266 applications in total for the SS17 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The height of the eaves of the proposed extension would exceed 3.00 metres and it is within 2.00 metres of the boundary of the curtilage of the dwellinghouse therefore, it would be in breach of Class A(i), in accordance with Schedule 2, Part 1 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
  2. The proposal fails to detail whether matching materials would be used in the construction of the exterior of the proposal. As a result, the proposal would fail Subsection A.3 (a) of Class A of Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
  3. The proposed rear extension would, by virtue of its rearward projection, scale and siting immediately adjacent to the shared boundary, result in a detrimental impact upon the living conditions of the occupiers of No.20 Arundel Drive by reason of loss of daylight, loss of sunlight and loss of outlook, together with an overbearing impact and an increased sense of enclosure. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy PMD1 of the adopted Core Strategy and Policies for Management of Development 2015, the Residential Alterations and Extensions Design Guide 2017 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
