Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the streetscene of High View Road
the effect on the living conditions for the occupiers of No. 94 High View Road as regards outlook and light

What decided it

The extension complies with the 45-degree line test for light, maintains appropriate design subservience, and the removal of the existing outbuilding would improve the outlook from the neighbouring property, resulting in no harmful conflict with development plan policies or the NPPF.

Framework references: 12

Plan policies cited: Policy D1 of the Guildford Local Plan 2019, Policy G1 of the Guildford Local Plan 2003, Policy G5 of the Guildford Local Plan 2003, Policy G8 of the Guildford Local Plan 2003

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
