REFUSED

Description of application – First floor rear extension and front rooflight.

Oral representations in objection to the application were received at the meeting. It was reported that an email with regard to a sunlight/daylight report had been received from the applicant and circulated to Members.  Councillor Douglas Auld had visited the site and in his opinion the proposed development would be over-dominant, cause serious detrimental overshadowing, loss of sunlight until midday and a loss of amenity to No 6 Oakfield Lane.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED for the following reason:-

1.  The proposed first floor rear extension, by reason of its height and rearward projection, would be over-dominant in relation to and seriously detrimental to the prospect and amenities of the occupiers of adjacent properties by reason of over-shadowing, loss of sunlight, prospect and visual impact, contrary to Policies BE1 and H8 of the Unitary Development Plan.
