Allowed6 August 20243327447

Land Adjacent to Summer Cottage, Tilford Road, Tilford, Farnham, GU10 2DZ

Planning appeal 3327447 at Land Adjacent to Summer Cottage, Tilford Road, Tilford, Farnham, GU10 2DZ (Waverley Borough Council) was allowed on 6 August 2024 by Inspector Castle S, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and its effect on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it, and if so whether the harm would be clearly outweighed by other considerations amounting to very special circumstances.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and its effect on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it, and if so whether the harm would be clearly outweighed by other considerations amounting to very special circumstances
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the landscape and scenic beauty of the Surrey Hills AONB and the Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV)

What decided it

The proposal would reduce the urbanising sprawl of built form across the site by consolidating development into a more compact form, thereby not resulting in a greater impact on Green Belt openness than the existing development despite increased volume, and the proposed dwelling's design and landscaping would enhance rather than harm the character and appearance of the AONB.
