It is the opinion of the local planning authority that, by reason of its size and its close proximity to neighbouring properties, the extension would be an intrusive and over-dominant feature within the outlook from adjacent properties and would cause an unacceptable loss of privacy, to the detriment of the residential amenity of the odccupiers of neighbouring properties. For this reason the proposal would be contrary to the intentions of Policy H/17 of the adopted Borough of Charnwood Local Plan. This policy seeks to ensure that extensions to dwellings are compatible and do not prove detrimental to neighbouring occupiers residential or visual amenities by reason of over dominance or overlooking. In these terms, the proposal is also in conflict with the advice given on the location of extensions in the Borough Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance on House Extensions.
