The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2 and Environmental Policy 35, finding it failed GP2(b) as the two-storey extension's height and scale would appear incongruous and overbearing…
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design (part b), and not adversely affect amenity of local residents (part g). Officer found proposal failed both: scale/height dominated existing single-storey dwelling and streetscene (b), and caused overbearing impact plus unacceptable overlooking on neighbours (g).
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development which preserves or enhances Conservation Area character/appearance, protecting special features. Officer assessed that two-storey extension's dominance over single-storey house, harsh junction, and overall form showed little regard to prevailing scale, failing to preserve/enhance Kirk Michael Conservation Area character.
