This application at 15 Hatfield Grove, Douglas, sought permission to demolish an existing single-storey rear extension and replace it with a larger two-storey rear extension. The application was refused by a delegated Principal Planner on 20 August 2024. The decision was based on the finding that the proposed two-storey extension would worsen the already existing overshadowing and overbearing effect on the neighbouring property at 17 Hatfield Grove. The proposal was considered to fall short of the required residential design standards, and was therefore refused.

The application was refused on 20 August 2024. The proposed two-storey rear extension was found to worsen existing overshadowing and overbearing impacts on the neighbouring property at 17 Hatfield Grove, making it unacceptable in planning terms.
