1.The proposed development would by reason of its siting in the rear garden environment of the host property in conjunction with its height, bulk, mass and minimal set back from the rear boundary of the site give rise to a cramped and overdeveloped visual appearance, which would be in contrast to the surrounding pattern of development thus harmful to the character and appearance of the surrounding area contrary to Policy DC61 of the LDF Core Strategy and Development Control Policies DPD.
2.The proposed dwelling would form a visually intrusive and dominant feature which would have a detrimental impact on the outlook from rear windows and rear gardens of properties that exist currently on Birch Crescent.
