Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
By reasons of the extensions excessive depth beyond that of the original
rear outrigger and its incongruous roof form, the development results in an
insubordinate and incongruous addition to the host property which disrupts
the prevailing built form and character of the local area contrary to Policy 53
of the adopted Waltham Forest Local Plan (2024) and the Supplementary
Planning Document – Residential Extensions and Alterations (February
2010).
2
The excessive nature of the extension by virtue of its combined height and
depth would result in detriment to the residential amenity of the occupiers of
No.3 St Johns Road due to the increased sense of enclosure, loss of outlook
and daylight/sunlight to this property’s occupiers contrary to Policy 57 of the
adopted Waltham Forest Local Plan (2024).
