About this application

This is a planning application for a garage at 6 Pine View Close, Chilworth, Guildford, GU4 8RS. Guildford has handled 7,095 applications of this type. This one was decided in 41 days, 3 weeks quicker than Guildford's typical decision time. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 957 applications in total for the GU4 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would close up the visual gap between the host property and 5 Pine View Close. This would result in an urbanising effect and harm to the character and appearance of the semi-rural nature of the area and streetscene in which the property is set. Therefore, it is considered that the proposal would be contrary to Policy D1 of Guildford Borough Local Plan: Strategy and Sites 2015—2034 (LPSS) adopted April 2019, Policy H4 and D4 of Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management Policies (LPDMP) adopted March 2023, Residential Extensions and Alterations Guide SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
