Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed rear extension would be subservient to the host dwelling, well-designed with appropriate materials, and would have negligible visual impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area given the effective screening provided by landscaping and the pattern of similar extensions in the cul-de-sac.

- Development plan policies
- Policy D1 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Strategy and Sites 2015-2034Policy H4 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management PoliciesPolicy D4 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management Policies
