Why it was refused

  1. The development would, by reason of its overall height, eaves height, contemporary design and material finish in a prominent location to the front of the site, result in a prominent and harmful addition, out of keeping with the Walton On The Hill Residential Area of Special Character (RASC) and result in less than substantial harm to the Walton on the Hill Conservation Area which would not be outweighed by public benefits, contrary to policies DES1, DES3 and NHE9 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 Council's Householder Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Guidance 2004.

From the council's decision notice.
