Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear extension, by reason of its layout and the loss of direct external windows serving the two existing bedrooms, would leave those rooms dependent on rooflights and internal glazing, resulting in an inadequate standard of outlook. Furthermore, the submitted information fails to demonstrate that satisfactory levels of natural light and ventilation would be maintained within those bedrooms. The proposal would therefore result in poor-quality residential accommodation, harmful to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers, contrary to Policy CS21 of the Woking Core Strategy (2012) and the guidance at Chapter 14 of the NPPF (2026).

From the council's decision notice.
