22 Larkhill Kidderminster Worcestershire DY10 2NN

1. 1.The proposed first-floor extension, by reason of its flat-roofed design, excessive scale, height and massing, and its cumulative relationship with existing extensions to the dwelling, would fail to appear subordinate to the host property and would visually overwhelm the original dwelling. As such, the proposal would represent an unsympathetic form of development that would fail to achieve a high standard of design and would not respond positively to the character and appearance of the host dwelling. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies SP.20, DM.24 and DM.25 of the Wyre Forest District Local Plan, and the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. 2.The proposed balcony and external terrace, by reason of its elevated position and relationship with neighbouring properties, would result in unacceptable actual and perceived overlooking of neighbouring private amenity space, causing a harmful loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DM.24 and DM.25 of the Wyre Forest District Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
