Why it was refused

Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed roof extension by reason of its scale, siting and proximity to nearby properties, would have an unacceptable impact upon levels of daylight reaching the adjacent property to the South whilst appearing overbearing and resulting in an increased sense of enclosure. The proposal would therefore cause an unacceptable level of harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, contrary to Local Plan Policy LP2 and the Housing SPD (2016) In dealing with this application the Council has implemented the requirement in the National Planning Policy Framework to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner and the Council has, as far as practicable, sought solutions to problems arising in relation to dealing with the planning application. We have made available detailed advice in the form of our statutory policies in the Local Plan consisting of the Core Strategy, Development Management Policies Document, Supplementary Planning documents and where appropriate the Site Specific Allocations Document as well as offering a full pre application advice service. However, we have been unable to seek solutions to problems as the principle of the proposal is clearly contrary to our statutory policies and negotiation could not overcome the reasons for refusal.
