Why it was refused

  1. The proposal by reason of its depth, height and proximity with the boundary with the neighbouring property at No. 39 Poltimore Road would result in an overbearing and overdominant form of development which would be detrimental to the amenities of the occupiers of No. 39 Poltimore Road and would not comply with Policies H4 and D5 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management Policies (LPDMP) 2023 , The Residential Extensions and Alterations Guide SPD 2018 and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
