Why it was refused

  1. The increased height of the single storey side/rear element would have a significant unacceptable overbearing impact on the adjoining neighbouring property at No.19 Oak Tree Road contrary to policy CS21 of the Woking Core Strategy (2012), Supplementary Planning Document 'Outlook, Amenity, Privacy and Daylight' (2022) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
