Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear dormer window, by virtue of its scale, poor design as a result of its flat roof, and location, would be a prominent and visually intrusive addition which would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the existing building and surrounding area conflicting with policies H4 and D4 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management Policies, Policy D1 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Strategy and Sites 2015 - 2034, Policy 1 of the Send Neighbourhood Development Plan 2019 – 2034, Chapter 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), and the guidance as set out in the Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD.

From the council's decision notice.
