39 Merrywood Park Camberley Surrey GU15 1JR

1. 1.The proposed first floor front extension, owing to its depth, height and siting, would appear as a dominant and incongruous addition to the host dwelling, failing to the respect its architectural integrity, whilst owing to its prominence within the street scene, it would harm the established character and form of the wider street scene and Wooded Hills Character Area. Furthermore, owing to its height, design and solid nature the proposed front gate would harmfully contrast with the open, verdant character of front gardens in the surrounding street scene and wider character area, with this harm exacerbated by virtue of its prominent location to the cul-de-sac. The proposal therefore, would directly conflict with policy DM9 of the Surrey Heath Core Strategy and Development Management Policies 2012, DH1 of the Emerging Local Plan 2019-2038, principles 9.1, 10.1 and 10.2 of the Residential Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document 2017, guiding principle WH3 of the Western Urban Area Character Supplementary Planning Document 2012 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. 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 and/or protected 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 DH1 of the emerging Local Plan 2019-2038.
