Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development in connection with the existing extensions to the dwelling would result in substantial increases to its footprint and volume over and above the original dwelling, failing to meet any of the exceptions set out in the NPPF, representing inappropriate development whilst also resulting in harm to its openness visually and spatially. No very special circumstances exist to outweigh this harm. The proposal therefore conflicts with Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework and Policy GBC2 of the Emerging Local Plan 2019-2038.
  2. In the absence of sufficient evidence, the application has failed to demonstrate that the development would not give rise to harm to the long term health of mature trees on site, which contribute positively to the rural, verdant character and biodiversity of the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to the aims and objectives of Policy DM9 of the Surrey Heath Core Strategy and Development Management Policies 2012, Policy DH5 of the Emerging Local Plan 2019-2038. and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  3. 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.
