Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear dormer window, by reason of its scale, bulk and flat-roofed form, would appear as an overly prominent and poorly integrated addition to the rear roof slope of the dwelling. It would dominate and disrupt the simple, consistent and largely unaltered roof form of the terrace, resulting in an incongruous form of development that would fail to respect the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area. The proposal would therefore fail to represent good design and would not make a positive contribution to local townscape character, contrary to Policies CS21 (Design) and CS24 (Woking's Landscape and Townscape) of the Woking Core Strategy (2012), the Residential Extensions section of the Design Supplementary Planning Document (2015), and Section 12 (Achieving well-designed places) of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
