As such, the proposed development would fail to comply with Policy CS11 and CS17 of the of the Core Strategy 2011, Policy DM2 of the Development Plan 2015, the revised NPPF 2024 and NDG 2019.
- The proposed development would, by reason of its height and depth, have an unneighbourly and overbearing impact which would be harmful to the front garden area, the amenities and privacy of No. 57 Foley Road.

- CPC VERDICT: No Objections, No Comments

- The proposal by the virtue of to its design, scale, bulk, and positioning relative to the neighbouring properties, the proposal would result in an incongruous form of development that fails to respect the rhythm of the built form within the streetscape. Additionally, the two-storey side extension would not be sufficiently subordinate to the host dwelling. As a result, the proposal would not harmonise well with the design of the main dwelling and would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of both the host dwelling and the surrounding area. As such, the proposal would be contrary to the requirements of Policy CS17 of the Core Strategy 2011, Policy DM2 of the Development Management Plan 2015, the Design Code 2024 and the NPPF 2024.
- It is considered that the proposed development would adversely affect the residential amenities of neighbouring property no. 17 Oaken Lane by reason of overlooking. The proposal is considered not to be in accordance with Policy DM2 of the Development Management Plan 2015.

- APPLICATION NUMBER: 2025/0545
- PROPOSAL: Claygate Foley Estate Conservation Area - T1- Spruce, Section fell to ground level. The tree is becoming too dominant in the garden causing the surrounding trees to struggle, in particular the adjacent Copper Beech which has struggled with drought stress. The Spruce also casts a large shadow over the rear neighbour's property. T2- Western Red Cedar, Reduce by 3 metres. This tree has been managed as a hedge in the past and needs to be reduced back down to previous points. Current height 9 metres, final height 6 metres.

- APPLICATION NUMBER: 2025/0060
- PROPOSAL: Two-storey side/front extension, pitched roof over front porch and rooflights.
- CPC VERDICT: Claygate Parish Council would wish to see a report on the trees on the site before this application is determined.
- EBC VERDICT: Refuse Planning Permission
- The proposed development would, by virtue of its design, appearance, scale, bulk and mass, would result in a dominant and incongruous form of development that would cause an unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling, surrounding area and street scene. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policies CS11, CS17 of the Core Strategy 2011, Policy DM2 of the Development Management Plan 2015 and the NPPF 2024.
- No arboricultural information has been provided to support this application to ensure that the TPO tree would not adversely be affected. This is contrary to the recommendations of BS5837:2012 and the Council's own requirements. The proposal therefore fails to assess the arboricultural implications of the proposal, contrary to the requirements of Policy DM6 of the Elmbridge Development Management Plan 2015 and the NPPF 2024.

- CPC VERDICT: [We made no submission]

| ADDRESS: 8 Kilnside
- APPLICATION NUMBER: 2025/0280
- PROPOSAL: Relocation of the existing side boundary wall.
- CPC VERDICT: Objection, With Reason.
Moving the wall forward would reduce the open aspect of the curtilage and local townscape which is a key feature of this group of houses.
Supplementary Note by Chair of Planning Committee: this would appear to breach Policy CS17 on Local Character, Density and Design.
- EBC VERDICT: Refuse Planning Permission.
The proposed change of use of the adjacent open space land due to the loss of Green Infrastructure Asset (an informal amenity open and greenspace within a housing area) and lack of provision of an equivalent replacement elsewhere would result in the loss of informal recreational green space within a housing development. The proposal would have an adverse impact on the character and visual amenity. The parcel of land subject to the proposed development is considered to be a green lung within an otherwise built-up area and the loss of the green space would detract from the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The proposal is contrary to Paragraph 104 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF - 2024), Policies CS14 and CS17 of the Core Strategy (2011), Policies DM2, DM6 and DM20 of the Development Management Plan (2015) and the Elmbridge Design Code February 2024.]

Claygate Foley Estate Conservation Area - Eucalyptus tree. The proposal is to completely remove the tree located in position 1 on the Site Plan (Doc 1) and shown in the picture (Doc 2) Its branches are interfering with an adjacent magnolia tree, which we are keen to allow space to continue to develop. Its growth and shallow roots (as shown in Doc 3) are removing disproportionate water from the ground with potential damage to a nearby pear tree which is c. 100 years old. The tree is not indigenous to the country / area. We have plans to plant new more appropriate trees in our garden which will more than offset the loss to the environment from the removal of this single tree. We have never observed a single nest in the tree or any other form of wildlife. (Its branches move too fluidly making it unstable for nests). Conifer / leylandii hedges. The proposal is to completely remove these high trees / hedges located in position 2 on the Site Plan (Doc 1) and shown in the picture (Doc 4). These are old and are higher / wider than they need to be. They will be replaced by more suitable / less dense alternatives.
