It is the opinion of the local planning authority that, by reason of the size of the extension and its siting, in close proximity to the side window to the kitchen of 31 Chalfont Drive, it would be an intrusive and overdominant feature, to the detriment of the residential amenities of the occupiers of that property. For this reason, the proposal would be contrary to the intentions of policy CS 2 of the adopted Charnwood Local Plan 2011 to 2028 Core Strategy and to saved policies EV/1 and H/17 of the adopted Borough of Charnwood Local Plan. These policies seek to ensure that extensions to dwellings are compatible in scale and design with the original dwelling and that they protect the amenity of neighbours through not overshadowing or having an overdominant impact on adjacent property. In these terms, the proposal is also in conflict with the advice given in the Borough Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance on House Extensions and the adopted Supplementary Planning Document Leading in Design.
