Rear Of 17 Woodmansterne Street Woodmansterne Surrey SM7 3NN

1. 1.The proposed development, by virtue of the material finish, form, and scale of development, with limited plot width and tightness to boundaries, in a location dominated by dwellings in more substantial plots set further back from the highway, coupled with inappropriate material finish, would result in a dwelling appearing as an odd juxtaposition in the context of its surroundings, and a cramped and overdeveloped Town Hall, Castlefield Road, Reigate, Surrey RH2 0SH Help Line 01737 276000 form of development, appearing as an incongruous addition and therefore harmful to the character of the area and street scene. The development would thereby be contrary to policies DES1 and DES2 of the Reigate and Banstead Development Management Plan 2019, the National Planning Policy Framework, the Reigate and Banstead Core Strategy, the Council's Local Character & Distinctiveness Design Guide SPD 2021 and the Councils Householder Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Guidance 2004.
2. 2.The proposed development, through the small, cramped and contrived rear gardens to both the proposed property and host property, would provide a poor living environment for future occupants to both dwellings. The proposal would therefore be contrary to the NPPF 2019 and policies DES1 and DES5 of the Reigate and Banstead Development Management Plan 2019.
3. 3.Insufficient information has been supplied to demonstrate that the parking provision would provide an adequate level of parking to meet the required standards for both the host property and proposed property and that an acceptable arrangement of parking provision would be provided to allow for adequate site lines and vehicular movements which would not impede the safe flow of traffic on the public highway. The proposal would therefore be contrary to policy TAP1 of the Reigate and Banstead Development Management Plan 2019 and the provisions of the NPPF.
