Members of the committee considered that the proposal would have an overbearing and overshadowing impact on windows in the side elevation of the neighbouring property (Greenacres), serving the lounge, by reason of the height, massing and proximity of the buildings to the boundary with this property, to the detriment of the amenities of the occupants of this property.
