219 High Street Old Woking Woking Surrey GU22 9JH

1. 1.The proposal would therefore result in inadequate space available to safely accommodate off street parking within the site curtilage and clear of the public highway. The implementation of a vehicular cross over will cause a fundamentally unsafe space for the movement of all users of the footpath. With the addition of the lack of visibility splays the proposal would lead to conditions prejudicial to highway safety, and would create a safety hazard for pedestrians, particularly young, elderly, and mobility or visually impaired pedestrians. The proposal would therefore cause danger and inconvenience to highway users and interfere with the free flow of traffic on the adjoining public highway, which would be contrary to Policy CS18 of the Woking Core Strategy 2012 and Supplementary Planning Document Parking Standards 2018 and the NPPF 2024.
2. 2.By reason of the proposal potentially facilitating the parking of vehicles between the vehicular carriageway of the B382 High Street and the buildings on its northern side, the distinct character of the Old Woking Conservation Area would be visually undermined causing less than substantial harm to this designated heritage asset and being contrary to Policies CS20 and CS21 of the Woking Core Strategy 2012.
