Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would appear out of scale and character with the proportions of the existing dwelling resulting in a form of development that fails to be in keeping with or respect the existing dwelling. It would be harmful in its scale and design to the character of the existing building. The proposal fails to comply with the NPPF, Policy H4 and Policy D4 of LPDMP and the Residential Extensions and Alterations Guide SPD.
  2. The proposed extensions would result in the listed building being extended in a dis-proportionate manner, with a sizeable overall footprint, and a large area of development to the south of the listed building. It would not appear subservient or sufficiently ancillary due to its overall large footprint and scale. The harm arising from the scale is compounded by the design which is not subservient or ancillary. The proposed development would result in harm to the significance of the listed building. No public benefit is identified to outweigh the identified harm. The proposal is contrary to national decision making policies within the NPPF, policy D3: Historic Environment of the Guildford borough Local Plan 2015-2034, and Policy D18: Designated Heritage Assets and Policy D19: Listed Buildings of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management Policies (2023).

From the council's decision notice.
