Decisions

Decision on recommendation A:

RESOLVED to REFUSE permission for the following reason:

The proposed development by reason of its design, scale, layout and appearance is of a poor standard of design, which fails to take the opportunities to improve the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area. It also fails to reflect the distinctive character of the nearby village. The proposal therefore fails to comply with Policies D1 and D4 of the Local Plan, paragraph 17 and Section 7 of the NPPF, and Policies TD1 of the emerging Local Plan, and the Cranleigh Design Statement.

Decision on recommendation B:

Not required

Decision on recommendation C:

RESOLVED that the details pursuant to Condition 12 (landscape management plan) be AGREED
