Loft Conversion with rear dormer, front dormer and front gable – Report from the Site Visit held on Tuesday 18 June 2019.

Case officer: Daniel Terry

The Committee received a report on the site visit held on 18 June 2019.

RESOLVED –

That the application be Refused for the following reasons:-

(1)          The proposed rear dormer, by virtue of its scale, siting, massing and bulk, would result in a visual intrusion to an otherwise simple and linear roofslope of the dwelling, and would appear incongruous with neighbouring dwellings when viewed from adjacent highways in the estate and from neighbouring gardens. As such, the proposal does not harmonise with the existing dwelling nor does it respect the surrounding built form and is therefore contrary to policies GP9 and GP35 of the Aylesbury Vale District Local Plan, the Council's Residential Extensions Design Guide and the National Planning Policy Framework.

(2)          The proposed rear dormer, by virtue of its scale, siting and proposed fenestration, would result in an overbearing structure at second floor level where none currently exists and result in overlooking to the rear gardens and elevations, including first floor bedroom windows, of No.'s 24, 25 and 26 Shepherd Close, reducing their level of amenity below that which they could reasonably expect to enjoy.  Therefore, the proposal is contrary to policy GP.8 of the Aylesbury Vale District Local Plan and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework.
