General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design (b), not adversely affect character of landscape/townscape (c), and not harm amenity of residents or locality character (g). Officer assessed the extension's flat roof, size, and window as failing (b) and (c) by detracting from dwelling appearance and introducing jarring form; failing (g) due to overbearing impact on neighbour outlook from height/proximity.
Dormer Extensions
Advises extensions should integrate holistically with main building using subordinate forms, preferring pitched roofs matching existing; modern designs need justification via design statement.

Residential Design Guidance 7 (Impact on Neighbouring Properties)
Covers good neighbourliness, assessing overbearing/outlook impacts. Officer applied to find 3.6m height, 1.1m to boundary, and level difference causing unacceptable overbearing prominence from neighbour's kitchen window.
