Why it was refused
- The proposed garage would by virtue of its its height, unbalanced and contrived facade in combination with its prominent position at the end of Newton Way, appear as an unduly prominent feature within the street scene and not respect the prevailing character of the area. On this basis, the proposed development would be contrary to Policy D4 of the Guildford Local Plan: Development Management Policies 2023 and the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.
From the council's decision notice.
