Why it was refused

  1. The proposed application is not supported by sufficient information or evidence to demonstrate that the development would not result in unacceptable harm to protected and priority species or habitats, including provision of additional surveys and impact assessments. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policy P6 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management Policies 2023 and the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
