Why it was refused
- The proposed rear extension considered cumulatively with the existing extensions to the dwelling, would result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original dwelling and therefore would be inappropriate development. As such the proposed extensions would result in harm to the Green Belt which is by definition harmful. The proposed extensions would also harmfully impact on the openness of the Green Belt visually and do not meet any of the exceptions under paragraph 154 of the National Planning Policy Framework and there no very special circumstances that clearly outweighs the identified harm to the Green Belt. The proposal is therefore contrary to the Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework and Emerging Surrey Heath Local Plan (2019 - 2038) Policy GBC2.
From the council's decision notice.
