It is the opinion of the local planning authority that, by reason of the size of the extension, its design and its siting, in close proximity to neighbouring properties to the northwest of the application site, it would be an intrusive and over-dominant feature, to the detriment of the residential amenities of the occupiers of those properties. For this reason, the proposal would be contrary to the intentions of saved policies EV/1 and H/17 of the adopted Borough of Charnwood Local Plan and to policy CS 2 of the adopted Charnwood Local Plan 2011 to 2028 Core Strategy. These policies seek to ensure that extensions to dwellings are compatible in scale and design with the original dwelling and that they are not detrimental to the amenity of neighbouring residents through overdominance, overshadowing or overlooking. In these terms, the proposal is also in conflict with the advice given on extensions in the Borough Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance on House Extensions and the adopted Supplementary Planning Document Leading in Design.
