Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by virtue of its incongrous design and materials, would be significantly out of character with the surrounding area, and would therefore cause harm to the character of the surrounding area contrary to policy DES1 of the Reigate and Banstead Borough Council Development Management Plan 2019.

From the council's decision notice.
