Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would result in the loss of existing boundary planting that contributes positively to the open and landscaped character of the area. In addition, insufficient information has been submitted regarding the associated parking arrangements, surfacing treatment and alterations to the frontage required to facilitate vehicular access. Consequently, the Local Planning Authority is unable to properly assess the full character and visual impacts of the development. These matters are fundamental to the proposal and cannot reasonably be resolved through the imposition of planning conditions. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy CS21 of the Woking Core Strategy (2012) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
