51 Blackmore Crescent Sheerwater Woking Surrey GU21 5NR

1. 1.The proposed single storey front extension, by combined reason of its location relatively centrally within a two storey terrace which demonstrates an existing consistent, unbroken and linear front building line, its notable extent of forward projection (2.25m), the proportions of the front elevation window within it, and its bulk, mass and prominence within the Blackmore Crescent street scene, would represent the introduction of a substantial front extension to a mid- terraced dwelling which would result in a spatially and visually incongruous built element which would fail to respect and make a positive contribution to the appearance of the host dwelling, the wider subject terrace of which the host dwelling forms part, the Blackmore Crescent street scene and the character of the area in which it would be situated, and which would also fail to provide a positive benefit in terms of townscape character, contrary to Policies CS21 (Design) and CS24 (Woking’s Landscape and Townscape) of the Woking Core Strategy (2012), as well as the provisions of the ‘Residential extensions’ section (9D) of Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) Design (2015) and Section 12 (Achieving well-designed places) of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2024) (most notably paragraph 135).
