Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear dormer roof extension, by reason of its excessive scale, bulk, massing, design and positioning, together with the insufficient areas of roof remaining around the dormer, would form an unduly dominant, visually intrusive and incongruous addition to the roofscape. The development would fail to appear subordinate to the host dwelling and would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area. As such, the proposal would fail to respect or positively contribute to local character and distinctiveness, contrary to Policies CS21 and CS24 of the Woking Core Strategy (2012), the Woking Design Supplementary Planning Document (2015), and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
  2. The proposed rear dormer roof extension, by reason of its scale, design and elevated rear-facing fenestration, would increase the perception of overlooking and reduce the sense of privacy currently enjoyed within the private rear garden and amenity space of No. 60 Gloster Road. The resulting sense of enclosure and loss of seclusion would have an unacceptable adverse effect on the residential amenities of the occupiers of that property. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy CS21 of the Woking Core Strategy (2012), the Woking Design Supplementary Planning Document (2015), the Outlook, Amenity, Privacy and Daylight Supplementary Planning Document (2022), and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
