Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
  • The living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties (No.71 and No.75) with particular regard to light and overbearing impact

What decided it

The proposal would result in a significant adverse impact on the character and appearance of the host property through its bulk, height and incongruous design, which conflicts with development plan policies and cannot be justified by other material considerations.

Plan policies cited: Policy D1 of the Guildford Local Plan: Strategy and Sites 2015-2034 (2019), Policy H4 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management Policies (2023), Policy D4 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan: Development Management Policies (2023), Policy D5 of the Guildford Local Plan: Development Management Policies
