Why it was refused
- By virtue of the proposed room layout, the proposal would not be functionally integrated with the main dwelling, nor would it clearly and unequivocally share either bathroom or kitchen facilities with the main dwelling. As such, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposal would not result in the creation of a self-contained unit and fails to comply with Policy H4 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management Policies (LPDMP) (Adopted on 22 March 2023).
From the council's decision notice.
