Why it was refused

  1. The proposed annexe building by reason of its scale, siting and the engineering operations associated with its construction, would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whilst resulting in harm to its openness, contrary to its fundamental aim. Therefore, the proposal is considered inappropriate development in the Green Belt and would conflict with Chapter 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework, policy GBC2 of the Emerging Local Plan 2019-2038 and Policy CH1 of the Chobham Neighbourhood Plan.
  2. In the absence of the submission of a detailed Arboricultural Impact Assessment and Arboricultural Method Statement, it has not been adequately demonstrated that the proposed development would not have an adverse impact on the long term health and retention of on-site mature trees. These trees make a significant and positive contribution to the character and visual amenity of the area, and their reduction or loss would be harmful to the verdant character and amenity of the area. As such, it has not been adequately demonstrated that the proposal complies with the National Planning Policy Framework, policy DM9 of the Surrey Heath Core Strategy and Development Management Policies 2012 and policy DH5 of the emerging Local Plan 2019-2038.

From the council's decision notice.
