76 Longmeadow Frimley Camberley Surrey GU16 8RJ

1. 1.The proposed development by reason of its height, scale and design, would result in an unduly bulky, top heavy and visually unbalanced form of development that fails to respect the scale, proportions and architectural integrity of the host dwelling and wider surrounding area. The proposal results in a disjointed and incongruous dwelling with an increased bulk and mass that would be out of keeping with the existing and neighbouring two- storey development. This harm would be exacerbated by virtue of its prominence from the public realm. As such, the proposed development would be harmful to the character of the area, contrary to policy DM9 of the Surrey Heath Core Strategy and Development Management Policies 2012, policy DH1 of the Emerging Local Plan 2019-2038, principles 10.1-10.5 of the Residential Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document 2017 and guiding principle PC4 of the Western Urban Area Character Supplementary Planning Document 2012.
2. 2.In the absence of sufficient evidence, the application has failed to demonstrate that the development would not give rise to harm to protected species and the Local Planning Authority is unable to discharge its legal duty and satisfy itself that a grant of planning permission would not be in conflict with the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended), the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), Policy CP14 of the Surrey Heath Core Strategy and Development Management Policies 2012 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
