Why it was refused
- The proposed side extension by virtue of its scale and proximity to the side boundary would erode the space which currently exists between the adjacent property at 23 Chandler Way. The loss of space would have an adverse impact on the setting of the adjacent property 23 Chandler Way and adversely impact on the general character of the residential cul de sac created by the semi-detached form of properties. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy CP10 of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strategy, Policy JP-P1 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan, the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework and the Council's House Extension Design Guide SPD (2019).
- The proposed side extension by virtue of its siting and scale would create additional mass close to the common boundary, resulting in an overbearing impact and a poor outlook to the detriment of the amenity and living conditions of the residents at 23 Chandler Way. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies CP10 and CP17 of the Wigan Local Plan Core Strategy, the House Extensions Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document and the amenity objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
