It is the opinion of the local planning authority that, due to its southerly location in close proximity to 181 Loughborough Road, the height and massing of the proposed first floor extension would have a detrimental effect on the amenities of the occupiers of that adjoining dwelling by reason of an overshadowing and overbearing impact and loss of light and sunlight to rooms to the side and garden area to the rear. Furthermore, the resultant building, by reason of the size and position of the proposed new windows in relation to the garage door and bay window within a higher gable, would be poor and unbalanced in design, out of character with the design of other dwellings in the immediate locality and, thereby, detrimental to the appearance of the street scene. For these reasons the proposal would be contrary to the intentions of Policy H/17 of the adopted Borough of Charnwood Local Plan. This seeks to ensure that extensions to dwellings are compatible in scale and design with the original dwelling and that they are not detrimental in terms of overshadowing or overdominance of adjacent property. 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.
