PLANNING chiefs have rejected a proposal to enlarge a house in the New Forest National Park.
The Lymington-based National Park Authority (NPA) has refused an application relating to a semi-detached property at Pollards Moor Road, Copythorne.
Copythorne Parish Council had objected to the application.
It said the proposed development would increase the property's floorspace by more than the 30% allowed and would have a harmful impact on neighbours.
A report to NPA members added: "Consent is sought to add a first floor extension over an existing flat-roofed extension.
"The proposed extension would have an oppressive and overbearing impact towards the occupants of the neighbouring property.
"This would result in an unacceptable impact upon the occupant's living conditions."
