The local planning authority considers that the size and siting of the proposed two storey element of the extension would be detrimental to the amenities of occupiers of No.17 Wanlip Road due to over dominance and loss of light. For these reasons the proposal would be contrary to the intentions of Policy H/17 of the adopted Borough of Charnwood Local Plan, which seeks to ensure that a development would not be detrimental to the amenities of occupiers of nearby properties. The proposal is in direct conflict with the advice given on separation distance for such extensions in the Borough Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance on House Extensions as updated by the revised space standards of Appendix 4 of Supplementary Planning Document: Leading in Design.
