The proposal by virtue of its excessive scale, massing and close proximity to the neighbouring properties of 37 Bamburgh Grove, 12 and 14 Thirlwell Grove and their respective gardens would have an overbearing visual impact to the detriment of the amenity and outlook currently enjoyed by the occupiers of these properties. The proposal would therefore be contrary to adopted South Tyneside Local Development Framework Development Management DPD Policy DM1(B).
The proposal by virtue of its design, close proximity and elevated finished floor height, relative to the site's boundary and adjacent land and habitable windows; would compromise the existing privacy standards that currently exist and that are enjoyed by the occupiers of these adjacent dwellings (37 Bamburgh Grove, 12 and 14 Thirlwell Grove). The development would therefore be detrimental to the amenity and privacy currently enjoyed by the occupiers of these adjacent dwellings and it would be contrary to adopted South Tyneside Local Development Framework Development Management DPD Policy DM1(B).
Although consent is sought to 'build a rear extension' to the host dwelling, the proposal is of a significant scale and the resultant floor layout suggests that a new self-contained dwelling is proposed as the development will have its own pedestrian access/hallway, large kitchen, bedroom/sitting room, study and bathroom. As such it is considered that the application has not been made in accordance with Part 3 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015.
