About this application

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed combination of a two storey side and rear extension with a substantial sized projection to the south elevation would result in a significant overall increase in scale, bulk and massing of the subject property and by virtue of its appearance, would be an incongruous feature that would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the existing property. Given the overall bulk and massing of the proposed development it would result in a dominating impact on this section of the street scene. As such the proposal is not considered to comply with Policy CDMP3 of the Adopted Wyre Local Plan (2011-2031), Design Note 1 within the Council's adopted 'Extending Your Home' Supplementary Planning Document, and the provisions of the NPPF.
  2. The two storey side extension, by reason of the excessive scale and proximity to the shared boundary, would result in an unacceptable impact to occupiers of the neighbouring residential property at 6 Ballot Hill Crescent in terms of overshadowing and have an overbearing impact, to the detriment of their amenity. This would be contrary to the provisions of Policy CDMP3 of the Wyre Local Plan, Design Notes 1, 3 and 5 of the Extending your Home Supplementary Planning Document and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
