Outcome
Planning Application Refused
We’re pleased to share a successful outcome following our objection to a proposed wraparound single-storey extension and two-storey rear extension within the Edinburgh City Council area.
Our client raised serious concerns about the scale and design of the proposed development, which we demonstrated would have a significant adverse impact on residential amenity, including:
Loss of privacy and daylight
Overbearing presence on neighbouring properties
Detrimental impact on local character and setting
We prepared a detailed, policy-based objection that clearly set out these issues in relation to both local planning guidance and national policy standards. The planning authority agreed, ultimately refusing the application and acknowledging the harm it would have caused.
Every planning application is unique, with its own set of challenges, implications, and potential objection grounds. From environmental impact to loss of residential amenity, the reasons for objecting to a planning application can vary widely. Are you concerned about a planning application in Edinburgh City Council?
