Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two-storey front and side extensions and alterations to the roof, by combined reason of their resultant size, scale, positioning and proximity to both the east and west property boundaries, would give rise to significant harmful impact to existing and future occupiers of both The Maltings, 99 Saunders Lane (to the east) and Little Windrush, 133 Saunders Lane (to the west) due to the onset of a significant harmful overbearing impact and loss of outlook/enclosing effect to the rear patio and westernmost ground floor rear elevation window serving the dining room (a primary habitable room) of The Maltings, 99 Saunders Lane (to the east), and the easternmost ground and first floor front elevation windows serving a sitting room and bedroom respectively (both primary habitable rooms) at Little Windrush, 133 Saunders Lane (to the west). The proposed development would therefore significantly and severely diminish the amenity of both adjoining The Maltings, 99 Saunders Lane (to the east) and Little Windrush, 133 Saunders Lane (to the west) and is therefore contrary to Policy CS21 'Design' of the Woking Core Strategy (2012), Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD's) Outlook, Amenity, Privacy and Daylight (2022) and Design (2015) and National decision-making policy L2(1)(d)(ii) of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (August 2026) which states that proposals for the creation of additional development within existing plots should (among other things) maintain acceptable living standards for neighbours.

From the council's decision notice.
