Why it was refused

  1. The proposed installation would by reason of its size and siting appear visually intrusive and result in a cluttered streetscape. The proposal would result in visual harm to the character and appearance of the street scene in this location. The proposal would fail to contribute positively to the local area and would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Byfleet Corner and Rosemount Parade Conservation Area and the setting of the nearby Locally Listed Building. The proposal is therefore considered contrary to Policies CS20, CS21 and CS24 of the Woking Core Strategy 2012, Policies DM17 and DM20 of the DM Policies DPD 2016 and the NPPF 2024.
  2. The proposed installation would by reason of its size and siting result in a cramped and cluttered streetscape, narrowing the pedestrianised area, reducing the space available to pedestrians in this busy thoroughfare. The proposals would result in inconvenience and be prejudicial to users of the pedestrianised area, which would be detrimental to amenity and potentially undermine the encouragement of the use of sustainable means of travel, contrary to Policies CS18 and CS21 of the Woking Core Strategy 2012 and Policy DM17 of the DM Policies DPD 2016 and the NPPF 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
