Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two-storey rear extension and front porch addition would, by reason of their design, form, cumulative size and scale over and above the existing dwelling and visibility in the streetscene, read as a spatially and visually harmful and incongruous series of additions, which would fail to pay regard to the existing form of the dwelling. The proposed extensions, when taken as a whole, would lack subservience and would result in a dwelling which appears uncharacteristically and disproportionately overdeveloped, especially at first floor/roof level. The additions would therefore detract from the existing character of the host dwelling, street scene and the surrounding neighborhood, which is characterised primarily by detached bungalows and chalet-style dwellings with accommodation at roof level. The proposed development would therefore fail to respect and make a positive contribution to the street scene and the character of the area in which it would be situated, and would fail to provide a positive benefit in terms of townscape character contrary to Woking Core Strategy (2012) Policies CS21 'Design' and CS24 'Woking's Landscape and Townscape', the 'Residential extensions' section (9D) of Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) 'Design' (2015) and the provisions of Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024) (particularly paragraph 135).

From the council's decision notice.
