Why it was refused
- The proposed development would result in disproportionate additions to the original dwelling and would therefore be considered inappropriate development in the Green Belt. Inappropriate development is, by definition, harm to the Green Belt and should not be approved unless very special circumstances exist that clearly outweigh the potential harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm resulting from the proposed development. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated and none are considered to exist. On this basis, the proposed development would not comply with Policy GB7 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2026, Policy P2 of the Guildford Local Plan: Strategy and Sites 2015 - 2034 and The Green Belt Supplementary Planning Document 2024.
- The proposed development by virtue of its height, width and external materials, would not respect the scale or character of the host property, and would reduce the spacious character of the streetscene by filling the existing visual gap between the host property and 48A Liddington New Road, resulting in unacceptable harm to the character of the area, contrary to Policy H4 and Policy D4 of Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management Policies 2023 and and the Residential Extensions and Alterations Guide SPD.
From the council's decision notice.
