- CPC VERDICT: No Objections. With Comments: Please can the first floor bedroom have obscure glazing? Also the new side windows to have obscure glazing.
- EBC VERDICT: Refuse Planning Permission
- The proposed development cumulatively would fail to integrate appropriately with the character and appearance of the local area and given its overall bulk, mass and design would be disproportionate, uncharacteristic and incongruous in its appearance compared to the existing dwellinghouse, that would be dominant and out of keeping with the rhythm of the streetscape. 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. This is contrary to Policy DM2 of the Elmbridge Development Management Plan 2015 and to the advice provided by Design Code 2024.

- CPC VERDICT: No Objections, No Comments
- EBC VERDICT: Refuse Planning Permission
- 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.

- EBC VERDICT: Conservation Area Tree Works Acceptable.

- 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.
