Planning committee
Decided by Tandridge Planning Committee on 2 Jul 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the terrace would not harm local character or neighbouring amenity, subject to a privacy-screen condition.
- The parish council and a neighbour raised concerns about retrospective works, overlooking, privacy and dominance.
- The committee approved a refusal motion and refused planning permission because of overlooking, visual intrusion and loss of privacy.
