The proposed extensions to the rear and east of the property are at ground, first and second floor levels and extend out to the rear lane boundary. The proposed two storey extension projects out 9.5m to the rear lane from the boundary with no. 103 Ocean Road and includes 2 lounge windows at first floor level facing no. 103 Ocean Road. The second floor extension is set in from this elevation by approximately 2 metres and also extends out to the back lane boundary. The adjoining property (no. 103 Ocean Road) has habitable rooms windows in the rear elevation at grond, first and second floor levels and facing the application site in the rear offshot at ground and first floor levels. Given the juxtaposition of the two properties and the height and depth of the proposed extension, it is considered that the proposed rear extensions will have a detrimental impact on the adjoining property no. 103 in terms of dominance, privacy, outlook and light. the development is not in accordance with South Tyneside Local Development Framework policy DM1 which requires that development is acceptable in relation to any impact on residential amentiy.

The proposed two storey extension to part of the front of the property facing Henry Nelson Street will extend beyond the uniform established building line along Henry Nelson Street to the back of footpath on this prominent corner site. As extended, the building will provide a flat, two storey elevation to the along the back edge of footpath to Henry Nelson Street, which is characterised by a series of terraced properties with projecting bay windows and a 2 m front garden set back from a low boundary wall. This arrangement has a detrimental visual impact on the streetscape in the context of the residential street and the wider area and is not in accordance with South Tyneside Local Development Framework Policy DM1 which requires that extensions convey sensitive consideration of surroundings.
