In the past year there have been 80 applications across Onslow. We hold 831 applications in total for the GU2 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. As an objection has been received from a neighbouring property, the local planning authority is required to access the impact of the proposed development on the amenity of any adjoining premises. The proposed extension by nature of its depth and height coupled with the proximity with the neighbouring properties No.13 St Johns Road would result in an overbearing and unneighbourly form of development which would be detrimental and harmful to the residential amenities of the occupiers of No.13 St Johns Road and would fail to comply with policies H4, and D5 of the Guildford Local Plan Development Management Policies March 2023, the Residential Extension and Alterations Guide SPD and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
