1)
The proposed second floor extension and railings, due to their location, size, scale and design would not be subservient to the host building and adjacent properties, and therefore would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the building, terrace and wider conservation area. As such, the proposal fails to comply with policies CL1, CL2, CL3, CL6, CL9 and CL11 of the Local Plan 2019.
2)
The proposed second floor terrace and railings, due to their location, would create a means of enclosure around the flat roof of the first-floor extension and subsequently facilitate the use of the flat roof as a roof terrace. The use of the roof as an outdoor terrace, by reason of its siting and proximity to the neighbouring properties, would give rise to an unacceptable loss of privacy to habitable windows of neighbouring properties and neighbouring outdoor areas, contrary to policy CL5 of the Local Plan 2019.
3)
On the basis of the information provided, the application fails to demonstrate that the proposed rear and side infill extension would not result in a material loss of light or an increased sense of enclosure to the occupiers of 27 Smith Street. As such, the proposal fails to comply with policy CL5 of the Local Plan 2019.
