Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by reason of its height, depth, design and siting would result in a dominant, incongruous and insubordinate addition of a utilitarian design, lacking appropriate articulation and detailing, that would be to the detriment of the character and appearance of the surrounding area. This harm is exacerbated by the increased prominence and visibility of the development from Knoll Walk and Knoll Road. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy DM9 of the Surrey Heath Core Strategy and Development Management Policies 2012, Principles 7.4 and 7.8 of the Residential Design Guide SPD, Policy TC11 of the Camberley Town Centre Area Action Plan 2014 and the NPPF.
  2. The proposed development by reason of its height, depth and siting immediately adjacent to the first-floor rear windows of No.67 High Street, would result in an increased undue sense of enclosure, loss of daylight/sunlight and prejudice to the current level of outlook enjoyed by these occupiers. It would therefore be contrary to Policy DM9 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies DPD 2012 and Principle 8.3 of the Residential Design Guide (RDG) Supplementary Planning Document 2017.

From the council's decision notice.
