6 Leslie Road Chobham Woking Surrey GU24 8LB

1. 1.The proposed development, by reason of the self-containment and size of the proposed annex, as well as this building's physical separation from the main dwelling, independent access and parking, and lack of reliance or evidence of such reliance on the main dwelling house would constitute a separate planning unit and independent dwelling. By virtue of its expanse of flat roofing, design, and siting, it would result in an incongruous addition, contrary to the prevailing pattern of development, that fails to positively integrate within the surrounding character area. It would therefore be contrary to Policy DM9 of the adopted Surrey Heath Core Strategy and Development Management Policies 2012, Guiding Principles CP1 and CP2 of the Western Urban Area Character Supplementary Planning Document 2012 and Principles 6.4, 6.6, and 7.4, 7.5, and 10.1 of the Residential Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document 2017.
2. 2.By reason of its proximity, scale, and design, which would result in the increased bulk and mass of the development adjacent to the boundary with No.8 Leslie Road, the proposed extensions would result in significant overshadowing of, and harm to the outlook from, a side facing window at ground floor which serves a habitable room of this neighbouring dwelling. As such, the proposed development would result in an unacceptable adverse impact on the residential amenities of the occupiers of this neighbouring dwelling. The proposal would not be compliant with the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy DM9 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies document 2012, Policies CH1 and CH3 of the Chobham Neighbourhood Plan 2026 and principles 8.3, 10.1 and 10.4 of the Residential Design Guide SPD 2017.
3. 3.The proposed development, by reason of the self-containment and size of the proposed annex, as well as this building's physical separation from the main dwelling, independent access and parking, and lack of reliance or evidence of such reliance on the main dwelling house would constitute a separate planning unit and independent dwelling. It would therefore result in the net gain of a single dwelling within the 400m-5km buffer zone of the Thames Basin Heath Special Protection Area. In the absence of a payment or a completed legal agreement under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, securing contributions towards strategic access management and monitoring (SAMM), and Suitable Alterative Green Space (SANG) measures, the proposal would result in harm to the Thames Basin Special Protection Area and would be contrary to Policy CP14B (vi) (European Sites) of the Surrey Heath Core Strategy and Development Management Policies Document 2012 and the Surrey Heath Borough Council's Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area Avoidance Strategy Supplementary Planning Document 2019 and saved Policy NMR6 of the South East Regional Plan 2009.
