House extensions and rooflights at 38 Sequoia Park, Hatch End, Pinner

“Single and two storey front, side and rear extensions (including front porch), installation of 4 rooflights to each front and rear roofslope and demolition of an existing garage.”

“The application site is a detached two storey dwelling located on Sequoia Park.”

“The site is neighboured to the south by No. 36 and to the north by No. Sequoia Park. Due to a change in the direction of the street, the subject site is set significantly further back than No. Sequoia Park such that the existing dwelling has a significant existing flank boundary impact to No. Sequoia Park. The neighbouring dwelling at No. Sequoia Park has a more comparable setback to the subject site.”

“A summary of the relevant planning application history is set out below:”

“LBH/13194 ERECTION OF SINGLE STOREY SIDE AND REAR EXTENSION TO DWELLINGHOUSE TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT GARAGE AND KITCHEN ADDITION Status: 10 - Decision Issued (Approved) WEST/445/96/FUL SINGLE STOREY SIDE AND FRONT EXTENSIONS Status: 10 - Decision Issued (Approved)”

“Hatch End Association Comments (Objection)”

“One neighbour objection letter was received.”

“Unacceptable impacts on neighbouring amenity in terms of loss of light / overshadowing, privacy and outlook • Design and impact on the streetscape…”

“The Committee wished it to be recorded that the decision to refuse the application was unanimous.”

“REFUSE the application for the following reasons;”

“The proposed two storey side and rear extensions by reason of the rearward siting in close proximity to the shared boundary with no 40 Sequoia Park and the change in levels between the two sites, with no 40 Sequoia Park being on a lower level, would result in an overbearing and obtrusive form of development, which would have an unacceptable impact on the neighbouring amenities of the occupiers at no 40 Sequoia Park with regard to loss of outlook.”
