Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed minor material amendment on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed relocation of the garage would seriously diminish the quality and softening effect of the planned landscaping area and harm the rhythm and character of the emerging street scene, contrary to development plan policies requiring high-quality landscape design.

Plan policies cited: Policy G5 of the Guildford Local Plan 2003, Policy D1 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Strategy and Sites 2015 - 2034
