The extension, by reason of its bulk and proximity to the boundary with adjacent neighbours would appear as unacceptably dominant and visually intrusive feature in relation to the host dwelling and within the context of the rear garden environments of neighbours. As such, the extensions would be unacceptably harmful to the appearance of the both the host dwelling and the surrounding area while being detrimental to the amenity of neighbours contrary to Policies 7 and 26 of the Havering Local Plan and the Council's Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD. |
