Why it was refused
- The proposed single storey rear extension, by reason of its depth, height and position on the shared boundary is considered to result in an unacceptable and significant loss of daylight and an overbearing impact to the adjoining neighbouring property at No.23 Horsell Moor which would adversely affect the amenities of these neighbouring occupiers, 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.
