The proposed development would fail to ensure good living conditions for occupants of neighbouring buildings. This is because of its use for office accommodation coupled with the extensive glazing which would lead to excessive light spillage and resultant disturbance; and the size, proximity and position of the proposed extension which would lead to a harmful increase in the sense of enclosure. The proposed development is therefore contrary to policy CL5 of the Local Plan.

Refused despite advice followed
To assist applicants in finding solutions to problems arising in relation to their development proposals the Local Planning Authority has produced planning policies, and provided written guidance, all of which are available on the Council's website, and offers a pre-application advice service. Pre-application advice was sought and provided in this case. Nevertheless, in the final analysis the application was still refused, with all material considerations taken into account. The Council is ready to enter into discussions with the applicants through the advice service to assist in the preparation of a new planning application.
