Why it was refused

  1. The proposed design of the roof form would result in a building which fails to respect the character of the existing dwellinghouse and would not preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area within which it is located contrary to policies CS20 and CS21 of the Woking Core Strategy (2012), policy DM20 of the Development Management Policies DPD (2016), Supplementary Planning Document Woking Design (2015) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024)
  2. The proposed development fails to demonstrate how nearby trees will be protected during the build process contrary to policies CS21 and CS24 of the Woking Core Strategy (2012), policy DM2 of the Development Management Policies DPD (2016) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
