Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of its size, bulk, mass, volume and floor area, would result in a disproportionate addition over and above the size of the original building. The development would therefore constitute inappropriate development, which is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt. It would also cause some harm to the openness of the Green Belt. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated which would clearly outweigh the inherent harm that would be caused to the Green Belt. The development therefore fails to accord with policy GB7:b of the National Planning Policy Framework (August 2026), policy P2 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Strategy and Sites (adopted by Council on 25 April 2019) and Green Belt SPD.

From the council's decision notice.
