  • Property Address6 Deacon Close, Shepshed, Leicestershire, LE12 9JH

Reasons 2

The proposed development, by reason of siting and orientation, scale, massing, height and overall appearance, would result in the significant loss of access to sun light to the rear elevation of No. 5 Deacon Close, which contains habitable room windows at both ground and first floor level. This would be detrimental to the amenities of the occupants of this neighbouring property. In addition, the proposed development, by reason of siting, scale, massing, height and overall appearance, would result in an overbearing form of development in context of the neighbouring residential properties, No.'s 5 and 7 Deacon Close, private amenity spaces. Furthermore, the proposed development by virtue of the dormer window to be installed to the rear elevation of No. 6 Deacon Close at second floor level, would be detrimental to the amenities of the occupants to the neighbouring properties (No.'s 5 and 7) by reason of overlooking, both real and perceived, and consequent loss of privacy. Accordingly, the proposed development would be contrary with the relevant provisions of Policy CS2 of the Charnwood Local Plan (Core Strategy) and "Saved" Policies EV/1 and H/17 of the Charnwood Local Plan 2004. Furthermore, it is considered that the proposed development would be contrary with the relevant provisions of Paragraph 127 of the National Planning Policy Framework.


Reasons 1

The proposed extensions and alterations to the host dwellinghouse, by reason of siting, scale, massing and overall appearance, would fail to represent subservient forms of addition/alteration to the host (and original) building, and would result in an incongruous form of development that will be out of keeping and detract from the character and appearance of the host building, and row of terraced properties of which it relates to. Accordingly, the proposed development would be contrary with the relevant provisions of Policy CS2 of the Charnwood Local Plan (Core Strategy) and "Saved" Policies EV/1 and H/17 of the Charnwood Local Plan 2004. Furthermore, it is considered that the proposed development would be contrary with the relevant provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework.
