Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of the architectural form, bulk and massing of the rear extension and the proposed dormer windows, would result in an incongruous building in the street scene which would fail to respect and make a positive contribution to the character of the host dwelling and the character of the area contrary to policies CS21 and CS24 of the Woking Core Strategy (2012), Supplementary Planning Document Woking Design (2015) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
