Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed in-fill extension, by reason of excessive scale and height would appear
as an incongruous form of development failing to be appropriately subservient to the
host property, and would result in significant visual harm upon the character and
appearance of the host property, and surrounding area, contrary to paragraphs 126
and 130 of the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021), Core Strategy Policy
15 'High quality design for Lewisham' of the Core Strategy (June 2011) and DM Policy
30 'Urban design and local character' and 31 'Alterations and extensions to existing
buildings including residential extensions' of the Development Management Local Plan
(November 2014), and the provisions of the Alterations and Extensions SPD (2019).
2
The proposed single storey in-fill extension, due to its excessive scale, would increase
sense of enclosure, loss of outlook, and would impact on sunlight and daylight,
resulting in material harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants at of No
27 Barmeston Road, contrary to Paragraph 130 of the National Planning Policy
Framework (2021); Policy 15 High quality design for Lewisham, of the adopted Core
Strategy (June 2011), and DM 30 Urban design and local character and DM 31
Alterations/extensions to existing buildings of the Development Management Local
Plan (November 2014) and the provisions of The Alterations and Extensions SPD
(2019).
