Planning committee

Decided by Spelthorne Planning Committee on 9 Dec 2025.

Approved

As officers recommended.

No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.

  • A neighbour objecting said the extension would reduce light to their conservatory and kitchen and create an overbearing, privacy-reducing structure over their living room.
  • A supporter said the extension had been reduced to match a neighbouring property's extension and roofline, and that the Planning Officer had recommended approval.
  • The Ward Councillor called the proposal finely balanced and said the loss of kitchen light was unacceptable, but the committee resolved to approve the application subject to conditions.
