Why it was refused

  1. The proposed dwelling, by virtue of its proximity and outlook onto the parking area, driveway and surrounding hardstanding, together with the siting of the proposed air source heat pump, would be afforded limited privacy, a lack of outlook to the northern bedroom, and little relief from the noise and disturbance caused by the surrounding site, and would result in an unacceptable living environment for future occupiers. The proposal is thereby contrary to policies DES1, DES5 and DES9 of the Reigate and Banstead Development Management Plan 2019 and the NPPF.
  2. Insufficient information has been supplied to demonstrate that the siting of the proposed Air Source Heat Pump would not result in a level of unacceptable noise and disturbance to No. 31 Beech Road which could be adequately mitigated against. The proposal is therefore considered to result in an unacceptable neighbouring relationship in conflict with policy DES1 and DES9 of the Reigate and Banstead Development Management Plan 2019.
  3. The proposed design, by virtue of the large front doors proposed within the setting of a Listed Building, Conservation Area and Residential Area of Special Character and sited facing towards the streetscene would result in a poor, incongruous design which would reflect poorly on the design and character of these designated areas and conflict with policies DES1, DES3 and NHE9 of the Reigate and Banstead Development Management Plan 2019.
