One detached dwelling and detached garage 40218/03
Milestones 357 Ainsworth Road, Bury Refused for the following reasons:

Reason 1. The proposed development would by reason of its size position and design, be a prominent and intrusive feature and would, therefore, be out of character with the surrounding area. The proposed development, therefore, conflicts with the following policies of the Bury Unitary Development Plan H2/1 - The Form of New Residential Development and H2/6 - Gardens and Backland Development.
Reason 2. The proposed development would by reason of its size position and design, create a loss of privacy and outlook to the adjoining properties. The proposed development, therefore, conflicts with the following policies of the Bury Unitary Development Plan: H2/1 - The Form of New Residential Development and H2/6 - Gardens and Backland Development.
Reason 3. The proposed development would constitute backland development involving the loss of a private garden which would increase the concentration of such developments in the surrounding area and thereby conflicts with Policy H2/6 Gardens and Backland Development of the Bury Unitary Development Plan.
Reason 4. The proposed development would be detrimental to the residential amenities of the surrounding properties with regard to the increase in noise and disturbance due to the heightened intensity of use on the site and from vehicular movements and turning on site. The proposal, therefore, conflicts with policy H2/6 - Gardens and Backland Development of the Bury Unitary Development Plan.

Reason 2. The design of the proposed extension is neither appropriate to, nor sympathetic with the existing structure, and would be detrimental to the visual amenity of the area.
