| 1. | The proposed rear/side extension would, by reason of proximity to the back edge of the footway, appear as a dominant and visually intrusive feature within the street and rear garden scene that would be harmful to the appearance of the surrounding area through reducing the openness of the corner plot. The roof of this proposal would also alter the basic shape of the roof on the semi-detached house which is unacceptable because it would lead to an imbalance between the pair and create a visually heavy roof to one half causing a negative effect on the street scene by the loss of symmetry. Accordingly the proposal is of a poor quality design which is contrary to the purposes and intent of Local Plan Policies 7 and 26 and the Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document. |
