About this application

In the past year there have been 86 applications across Hoe Valley. We hold 752 applications in total for the GU22 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development is located within Flood Zone 3. The applicant has failed to submit a compliant householder Flood Risk Assessment in line with National Flood Risk Standing Advice to demonstrate that the development would be safe for its lifetime without increasing flood risk elsewhere. Specifically, the submission fails to adequately substantiate floodplain storage compensation or provide a viable surface water drainage strategy that accounts for localised flood conditions. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy CS9 of the Woking Core Strategy (2012) and the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024).

From the council's decision notice.
