Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would, by virtue of its scale, depth and proximity to neighbouring properties, appear as an unduly dominant addition to the dwelling and result in an unacceptable loss of outlook and natural light to adjoining occupiers. The proposal would therefore give rise to an overbearing impact that would significantly harm the living conditions of neighbouring residents and the character of the area. The development is therefore contrary to Policy SWDPR28 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026 and Paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
