Why it was refused

  1. Owing to its scale, massing and position along the shared boundary, the extension would form an overbearing element that would unacceptably impact the amenity of the adjoining residential property, No. 26 Darrell Way, resulting in significant loss of light and outlook. The proposal is therefore considered contrary to Development Policy 23 of the Local Plan 2031, Part 2 and the South and Vale Joint Design Guide 2022.

From the council's decision notice.
