Pinewoods 74 Dartnell Avenue West Byfleet Surrey KT14 6PJ

1. 1.The proposed roof extension and rear dormer windows would, by reason of their scale, height, massing, design and positioning, appear as an unduly dominant, incongruous and top-heavy addition to the existing dwelling. The proposal would fail to respect the proportions, architectural form and character of the host dwelling and would not make a positive contribution to the street scene. The development would therefore be harmful to the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Policies CS21 and CS24 of the Woking Core Strategy (2012), the Woking Design SPD (2015), and the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).
2. 2.The proposed roof extension would, by reason of its increased height, bulk, massing and close proximity to the eastern boundary, result in an overbearing form of development when viewed from the rear patio and garden amenity space of the neighbouring property, Southerdown. The proposal would therefore fail to achieve a satisfactory relationship with the neighbouring property and would result in significant harm to neighbouring residential amenity, contrary to Policy CS21 of the Woking Core Strategy (2012), the Outlook, Amenity, Privacy and Daylight SPD (2022), the Woking Design SPD (2015), and the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).
