Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property
  • The living conditions of the occupants of the appeal property and those of the neighbouring property

What decided it

The disproportionate scale of the extension combined with the existing outbuilding would result in a cramped form of development that would adversely harm the character and appearance of the host property and compromise the living conditions of both the appeal property occupants and neighbours through loss of privacy and amenity space.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS21 of the Woking Core Strategy, Woking Design Guide 2015 Section 9D, Council's SPD - Outlook, Amenity, Privacy and Daylight
