- PROPOSAL: Alterations and extensions to existing single-storey bungalow to create a two-storey dwelling following partial demolition of existing house.

- EBC VERDICT: Refuse Planning Permission. The proposed development, due to the presence of windows above ground floor within the east and west elevations, would result in an unacceptable level of actual and perceived overlooking and loss of privacy to the detriment of existing and future occupiers of Raleigh House and The Lodge, contrary to the requirements of Policy DM2 of the Development Management Plan 2015, the Design and Character SPD and the revised NPPF.
- PLANNING INSPECTOR VERDICT: Planning Inspector: Refuse Planning Permission
[In short, while the Inspector was clearly sympathetic to the appellant’s wish to extend, and did not support all of EBC’s opinions, he did state, inter alia, “However, the two bedrooms which would have west and east facing first floor.
Appeal Decision PP/K3605/D/24/3357214 Two windows in the southern part of the proposed structure would, I deem, give rise to exactly the residential amenity issues set out by the Council……”
