331 Wigan Lane Wigan WN1 2RD

1. 1.By virtue of its scale, siting, massing, material finish, fenestration design, roof form and height, the proposed development would not be in keeping with the character and appearance of the property or the wider area and would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Green Hill Conservation Area. There are no public benefits to outweigh the harm identified. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies JP-P1 and JP-P2 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan, Policies CP10 and CP11 of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strategy, saved Policy EV4A of the Wigan Unitary Development Plan, the House Extensions Design Guide and the heritage and design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. 2.By virtue of its siting and the difference in ground levels, the proposed second floor balcony would result in an unacceptable loss of privacy and overlooking of the habitable room windows and private garden space of number 10 Broomhey Avenue, to the detriment of the occupants' residential amenity. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy CP17 of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strategy, the House Extensions Design Guide and the residential amenity objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
