These are the reasons for refusal last year were:
1. The proposed enlargements to the roof of the bungalow arising from an increase in its ridge height, and the introduction of a dormer extension would, by virtue of their cumulative height, scale, bulk and massing, result in a dominant and disproportionate addition to the host dwelling. The excessive enlargement of the roof space would not be subservient to the existing bungalow and would result in a top-heavy appearance to the building which would be incompatible with the character of the host dwelling and would have a harmful impact on the appearance of the street scene. The proposal fails to improve the character and quality of the area and is therefore contrary to the requirements of policies 9 and 20 of the Joint Core Strategy and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document and paragraphs 58 and 64 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. By reason of its scale, massing and its position in relation to xxxxxxxxxxthe proposed increase in ridge height and additional windows on the rear elevation will result in undue overlooking of xxxxxxxxxcccwhich would be detrimental to the amenities of the occupiers of that property. The proposal is therefore be contrary to Policy 9 of the Joint Core Strategy and
Development Management Policies Development Plan Document.
Applied Policies:
The decision has been taken having regard to the policies and proposals in the xxxxxxxDevelopment Plan, and to all relevant material considerations including Supplementary Planning information, and any representations made as a result of the notification and consultation process. This advice is only intended as a summary of the reasons for the decision. For further details please see the report in the application file.
Policy 9 Local Environment Policy 20 Design
Statement and Informative Notes:
1. Statement in accordance with Article 35 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
The proposed development would not improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area and therefore does not comprise sustainable development. There were no solutions to the scheme, or conditions which could reasonably have been imposed to make the development acceptable. It was therefore not possible to approve the application. The Local Planning Authority has therefore implemented the requirement in Paragraphs 186-187 of the NPPF.
2. This application has been assessed against the following plans: Proposed Side Elevation/Proposed Front Elevation; Proposed Side Elevation/ Proposed Rear Elevation; Proposed Ground floor Plan/ Proposed First Floor Plan.

Whatever "policies" your council quote are worthless, and nothing but a sop to try and silence residents versus business.
Forty years of battling with our local Planning Department and Planning Committee - originally a small petrol station a mere 6 metres from our lounge (just about tolerable), in place of a landscaped entrance (15 metres away), which over time and numerous "redevelopments" and a change of ownership, is now a supermarket (with petrol station attached). The size, area and height of all structures have increased by approximately 80%, which has been exacerbated by increased height of ground level.
The Council's "policy" states that proposals that "impact on" or "are detrimental to social amenities i.e. affect noise/views are not to be approved....."
...But when push come to shove, "the policy is merely a guideline...."
In my case, the owners of the site were originally Total Oil; the current owners are (IMO) complete bASDArds - who from day one have flouted and ignored the minimal conditions that were attached to their 'approved' proposals.
As I have over the years proven (by documentary and photographic evidence) that both the Planning department and the two big companies have consistently lied, I now believe that my council and planning department are and have been for many years totally and utterly (at least morally) corrupt - a view that is held by everyone that I know in our area, and the local media who (front page, two years apart) blamed the site as the "neighbours from hell".

I think the problem is Bob, that what suits one person angers another. The people who live in that new estate probably love it and are glad to be housed, but I can see how it would annoy those who were already there.
We live in an area where people are desperate for homes, but many of those who live here don't want any more homes built. Who do the planners please, and who do they annoy? Glad I don't have to make that choice, but a choice will have to be made.
I wasn't complaining about the houses being built but the fact that the planners allowed the access road to go straight through the middle of the sheltered housing scheme which was previously a quiet and safe cul-de-sac for elderly people, when they could very easily have taken the access road through an existing estate right next door to the new estate, without causing the younger residents there any problems.
The heavy lorries and plant have seriously damaged the existing road and some of the pavement but the Highways department are refusing to repair it on the grounds that it is not a danger to the public (the potholes are deeper that a bicycle tyre and could have a cyclist off as well as damaging car tyres). The new estate of course has nicely tarmacked roads!
Incidentally, just before the recent local elections, when a local councillor came round canvassing, I pointed out the holes to him. His advice was for me to make the holes bigger, put a tennis ball into them and photograph them and then the council would have to check them out and possibly repair them. When I pointed out that I was a retired PC and making the holes bigger would be criminal damage he shut up...that is local councillors for you!
