Woodhatch Cottage 62 Woodham Road Horsell Woking Surrey GU21 4EH

1. 1.The proposed works would not harmonise with the existing dwelling as they would fail to appear as subordinate additions by reason of the scale, mass, bulk and positioning of them. Consequently the extensions would dominate the existing dwelling and unbalance its existing symmetrical character. Furthermore, the proposed render finish and grey framed windows would fail to harmonise with the prevailing characteristics of the street scene and its Arcadian quality and the proposed boundary treatment to the front of the site, by reason of the scale, height and overall appearance and materiality, would be at odds with the character of the street scene to the detriment of its visual amenity. As such, the proposed works would represent visually harmful, incongruous and urbanising development which would fail to respect the open, verdant and attractive character of the area. The proposal would result in a significantly harmful impact on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area and would fail to respect and make a positive contribution to the street scene and the character of the area in which it would be situated. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies CS21 and CS24 of the Woking Core Strategy (2012), the 'Residential Extensions' section of Woking Design Supplementary Planning Document (2015), the Outlook, Amenity, Privacy and Daylight Supplementary Planning Document (2022) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024) (particularly paragraphs 135 and 139).
