Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in additional prominent and bulky additions to the property, resulting in over-development of the application site, to the detriment of the visual amenity of the dwellinghouse and the wider street scene. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policy JP-P1 of the Places for Everyone Plan, Policy CP10 of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strategy, the Council's House Extensions Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. By virtue of its height, siting, and scale, the proposed two-storey rear extension would have an unacceptable adverse impact on the amenity of the occupiers of 4 Burnside Close as it would create additional massing and have an overbearing impact on the outdoor amenity space of the neighbouring property. The proposed development is therefore contrary to policies CP10 and CP17 of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strategy, the Council's House Extensions Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  3. The proposed two-storey rear extension would result in a further loss of amenity space within the rear garden, resulting in poor and inadequate outdoor space for a 5-bedroom property, to the detriment of the amenity of the occupiers. The proposed development is therefore contrary to policies CP10 and CP17 of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strategy, the Council's House Extensions Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document and the National Planning Policy Framework.
