About this application

This is a planning application at 3 Baillie Road, Guildford, GU1 3LN. Guildford has handled 7,095 applications of this type. This one was decided in 92 days, 4 weeks longer than Guildford's typical decision time. The site is in the Charlotteville conservation area. There has been 1 other application at this address. In the past year there have been 272 applications across Castle. We hold 772 applications in total for the GU1 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The raised platform and associated front and side boundary walls, due to its scale, engineered form, and prominent siting, results in a visually intrusive, bulky and unduly dominant and incongruous addition within the street scene which disrupts the established row of shallow terraced front gardens at adjacent dwellings. The proposal therefore results in harm to the character of the terraced row of dwellings and the special character of the Conservation Area, where more traditional boundary treatments are found. The harm to the designated heritage asset is not outweighed by public benefits. Therefore, the proposal is contrary to policies D3 of the Local Plan: Strategy and Sites 2015, D4, D18 and D20 of the Local Plan: Development Management Policies 2023, Chapter 20 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2026, and Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
