Sorbie Coldharbour Road Woking Surrey GU22 8SP

1. 1.The proposed roof alterations and extensions including increased ridge height, hip-to-gable additions and front and rear roof dormers by combined reason of their size, height, positioning, design, bulk and massing would result in an unduly dominating and incongruous enlargement to the property which would result in the creation of a residential dwelling which has been overly and uncharacteristically extended at roof level. The extensions would in this regard fail to respect the form and character of the existing building; which is characterised by a traditional hipped roof as per the prevailing roof design in the street. The proposed roof alterations and extensions including increased ridge height, hip-to-gable additions and front and rear roof dormers 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 Woking Core Strategy (2012) Policies CS21 'Design' and CS24 'Woking's Landscape and Townscape', the 'Residential extensions' section of Supplementary Planning Document 'Woking Design' (2015) and Section 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2026).
