Planning committee

Decided by Waverley Planning Committee on 10 Jun 2026.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised approval because changes addressed earlier concerns about spacing, views and the area’s character, subject to conditions.
  • The town council and 89 letters objected, while one public speaker supported the proposal.
  • The committee rejected the officer recommendation and refused permission because the proposal did not respect the area’s verdant character or street scene.
