Why it was refused

  1. The removal of Condition 4 (Use Class Restriction) would result in the potential for a broad range of uses falling within Use Class E to operate from the approved floorspace, rather than the specific Class E(c) Use that formed the basis of the assessment and grant of permission under PLAN/2025/0712. The unrestricted operation of alternative Use Class E uses could give rise to materially different impacts, including in respect of residential amenity, which were neither assessed nor mitigated as part of the original application. Under these circumstances, the proposed removal of Condition 4 would fundamentally alter the scope of the approved development and undermine the basis upon which it was found acceptable contrary to Policy CS21 of the Woking Core Strategy 2012 and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024. The condition remains necessary, precise, reasonable and relevant to planning and to make the development acceptable in planning terms

From the council's decision notice.
