Why it was refused
- The proposed garage by reason of its height, location and position being forward of the existing dwelling would result in a prominant and dominant addition to the property which would be out of keeping with the established character of the area and detrimental to the visual amenities of the area. The proposal would be contrary to Policy D1 of the Guildford borough Local Plan: strategy and sites 2019, polices D4 and H4 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management Policies 2023, The National Planning Policy Framework chapter 12 and the Residential Extensions and Alterations Guide SPD 2018.
From the council's decision notice.
