Two storey front extension with new porch, first floor side extension, single storey side and rear extension with rear balcony, alterations to the fenestration, new vehicular access to existing driveway

1. The proposed development due to its siting, design, massing, scale, would create an unattractive and incongruous feature at odds with the appearance of Merdon Avenue and detrimental to the character and pattern of development within the locality. As such the proposed development is contrary to Policy DM1 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan [2016-2036]
2. The proposal due to the siting of the rear balcony would result in an unacceptable loss of amenity and privacy enjoyed by the occupiers of No.58 Merdon Avenue. As such the proposal is contrary to Policy DM1 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan [2016-2036] and Quality Places Supplementary Planning Document.
3. Note to Applicant: In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023), Eastleigh Borough Council takes a positive approach to the handling of development proposals so as to achieve, whenever possible, a positive outcome and to ensure all proposals are dealt with in a timely manner. In this instance the application has been refused as it is contrary to the relevant policies of the Local Plan and the planning harm was unable to be resolved in a timely manner.
