Why it was refused

  1. The proposed ground floor dwelling, by virtue of its proximity and outlook onto the partially covered parking area, and lack of outlook to the south eastern window, would result in an unacceptable living environment for future occupiers in relation to access to light and outlook. Furthermore, the proposed dwelling fails to meet the minimum internal floor area as prescribed within the Nationally Described Space Standards for a Town Hall, Castlefield Road, Reigate, Surrey RH2 0SH Help Line 01737 276000 one bedroom, two person dwelling. The proposal is thereby contrary to policies DES1 and DES5 of the Reigate and Banstead Development Management Plan 2019 and advice contained within the Local Distinctiveness Design Guide SPG and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
