Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would, by reason of the height, bulk, massing, detailing and inappropriate roof and window design of the rear roof extension and introduction of a large, inappropriately located front rooflight, fail to provide an in keeping design that respects the character and appearance of the application property, the pair of semi- detached dwellings and the Tadworth Conservation Area. The proposed development is thereby contrary to Policy CS4 of the Core Strategy (2014), Policies DES1 and NHE9 of the Development Management Plan (2019), the National Planning Policy Town Hall, Castlefield Road, Reigate, Surrey RH2 0SH Help Line 01737 276000 Framework (2024), 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.
