Summary
The application proposes a two-storey side extension with a new pitched roof and gable ends facing both the front and rear. It also includes a new front porch, a glazed bay projection at the back at terrace level, changes to windows and doors, and replacement of the roof coverings and sections of external cladding. An existing external side stairway would be removed and replaced by a new driveway with a dropped kerb. The property sits in a dense residential street in Guildford's Castle ward, with around 115 homes within a short distance. Monks Path, a Grade II listed building, is about a minute's walk away. Pewley Down Infant School is a few minutes' walk to the south-east. Because a listed building is close by, a Heritage Statement is normally required alongside this type of application. That document has not been submitted, which the council may need to resolve before the application can be fully assessed.
What you can do
You can comment on the application through Guildford Borough Council's planning portal, quoting reference 26/P/00257. Comments should relate to material planning matters such as the impact on the listed building's setting, design, or highway safety — personal objections are not taken into account.
