Why it was refused

  1. The proposed front and rear dormer windows and front gable and porch extensions, due to their scale, width, height and design, would be overly large and would fail to blend in with the character and scale of the existing dwelling. They would result in a form of development which is overly large and unduly harmful to the character of the existing dwelling. Given the location and visibility of the site within the area, the proposal would also result in a harm to the visual amenity of the surrounding area, resulting in an incongruous form of development in the streetscene. Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be contrary to Policy D1 of Guildford Borough Local Plan: Strategy and Sites 2015-2034, Policies H4 and D4 of Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management Policies, Policy B-EN 1 and B-FD 1 of Burpham Neighbourhood Plan, and the Residential Extensions and Alterations Guide SPD.

From the council's decision notice.
