Why it was refused

  1. The proposed alterations to the depth and roof pitch of the part two storey, part single storey side and rear extension by reason of the proposed excessive depth, height, size and scale, would represent insubordinate additions that would engulf and overwhelm the form of the original dwelling when taken alongside previously approved additions subject of PLAN/2024/0327. The proposed alterations would also be at odds with the established pattern and grain of development in the locality; whereby no comparable examples of first floor additions to an equal or greater depth lie in situe. The proposed development would therefore fail to respect and make a positive contribution to the street scene and the character of the area within which they would be situated, contrary to the provisions of the Woking Core Strategy (2012) policies CS21 'Design' and CS24 'Woking's Landscape and Townscape', Supplementary Planning Document 'Woking Design' (2015) and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2024) (particularly paragraph 135); and planning permission is recommended for refusal on this basis.

From the council's decision notice.
