Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A only: whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether the proposed floor to ceiling height, measured internally, of the additional floor, would exceed the lower of (i) 3 metres or (ii) the floor to ceiling height of any storey of the principal part of the existing dwellinghouse
- Both appeals: the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
- Both appeals: the effect of the proposals on the living conditions of No 4, with particular regard to daylight
What decided it
The proposals would result in detrimental effects on both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of the neighbouring property through loss of daylight, conflicting with development plan policies and GPDO conditions.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS21 of the Woking Core Strategy 2012, Policy CS24 of the Woking Core Strategy 2012, Policy BE1 of the Pyrford Neighbourhood Plan
