The size and siting of the two storey rear extension in close proximity to neighbouring properties to the south and west of the site would result in an intrusive, over-dominant feature and loss of privacy, 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 policy H/17 of the adopted Borough of Charnwood Local Plan and policy CS2 of the Charnwood Local Plan 2011 to 2028. 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 overlooking and overdominance of the 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.
