REASON FOR REFUSAL

 

1

By reason of the height and bulk the proposal would appear as overly dominant in relation to the adjacent properties resulting in an unacceptable loss of light thus causing significant harm to the living conditions of the occupants of the adjacent properties contrary to policies DBE2, DBE9 and DBE10 from the Local Plan and Alterations (LP) (1998 & 2006), policies DM9 and DM10 from the Epping Forest District Local Plan Submission Version (LPSV) (2017 and the NPPF.

 

2

By reason of the depth and projection beyond the established rear building line of the properties on Forest View Road the proposal  would be inappropriate development contrary to policies CP2, DBE9 and DBE10 from the Local Plan and Alterations (LP) (1998 & 2006), policies DM9 and DM10 from the Epping Forest District Local Plan Submission Version (LPSV) (2017 and the NPPF.

 

Way Forward

 

To propose a smaller, lower and less bulky addition that will interfere less with neighbours amenities, or build the extension granted consent in 2003.
