The local planning authority considers that the first floor extension to the side, due to its size and siting would be detrimental to the amenities of occupiers of No 4 Deeming Drive, due to its close proximity to the rear of the neighbouring property which would result in over-dominance. For these reasons the proposal would be contrary to the intentions of Policy EV/1 and H/17 of the adopted Borough of Charnwood Local Plan which seek to ensure that a development would not be detrimental to the amenities of occupiers of nearby properties and in conflict with the advice given on the location of extensions in the Borough Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance on House Extensions and the Supplementary Planning Document, Leading in Design.
