Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed cumulative rear extension, by virtue of its scale, depth and siting
together with existing projections, would not appear subservient in relation to no.
46 Byron Road. This is considered harmful to the character and appearance of the
host dwelling and wider terrace row and is contrary to the design objectives of
Policy 53 of the adopted Waltham Forest Local Plan LP1 (2024).
2
The proposed rear extension would result in a loss of outlook and increased
sense of enclosure for occupiers of a first-floor habitable room serving no. 44
Byron Road and, without evidence to the contrary, also for occupiers of a first-floor
habitable room serving no. 48 Byron Road. This is to the detriment of continued
enjoyment of the dwellinghouse(s), is therefore considered harmful to residential
amenity and is contrary to the aims and objectives of of Policy 57 of the adopted
Waltham Forest Local Plan LP1 (2024).
