Why it was refused
- The proposed development for the main property, by reason of its façade alterations, roof design and extensions, would result in a overly dominant and visually intrusive form of development that appears contextually inappropriate and cramped and incongruous within the plot and streetscene. As such, the proposal fails to comply with Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone, the Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Document 4: A Guide for Designing House APPLICATION NUMBER – 118116/HHA/26 REHHAZ Extensions and Alterations, February 2012 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
- The proposed rear extension, by reason of its scale, massing and proximity to the boundary with no. 173 Derbyshire Lane, would result in an undue overbearing impact and an unacceptable loss of outlook to the occupiers of No. 173 Derbyshire Lane, to the detriment of the amenity that these occupiers could reasonably expect to enjoy. Furthermore, insufficient information has been submitted in respect of the height of the proposed rooflights. As such, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the development would not result in overlooking and a loss of privacy to the occupiers of No. 177 Derbyshire Lane. The proposal would therefore have a detrimental impact on residential amenity, contrary to Policy L7 of Trafford Core Strategy, the Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Document 4: A Guide for Designing House Extensions and Alterations, February 2012 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
