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 disproportionately large rear extension with incongruous balcony platform and external staircase would harm the appearance of the host dwelling and conflict with design policies requiring extensions to be subordinate and consistent with the host building's characteristics and the simple architecture of the post-war estate.

- Policy DM9 of the Surrey Heath Core Strategy and Development Management Policies 2012Residential Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document 2017, principles 10.1 and 10.3Western Urban Area Character Supplementary Planning Document 2012, guiding principle PC1
