Scheme description

Single and two storey front, side and rear extensions; installation of 4 rooflights to each front and rear roofslopes; front porch (demolition of garage)

Why it was refused
Reason 1

- The proposed two storey side and rear extensions by reason of the rearward siting in close proximity to the shared boundary with no 40 Sequoia Park and the change in levels between the two sites, with no 40 Sequoia Park being on a lower level, would result in an overbearing and obtrusive form of development, which would have an unacceptable impact on the neighbouring amenities of the occupiers at no 40 Sequoia Park with regard to loss of outlook. In addition, the added height and massing of the roof in conjunction with the site levels would have an unacceptable impact upon the appearance of the host dwelling and the immediate streetscene resulting in an incongruous development that would appear at odds with the scale and heights of houses on either side. Overall, the proposed development is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policy D3, D(7) of The London Plan (2021), policy GR1 of the Harrow Local Plan (2021- 2041) and the adopted Supplementary Planning Document: Residential Design Guide (2010).
