   Received by Mole Valley

   Decision issued: REFUSED

3. 27 Aug 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

A reserved matters application fills in the detail held back from an earlier outline permission, typically appearance, landscaping, layout, scale or access. The council judges it against the outline permission already granted, not the principle of development, which is settled. It must normally be submitted within three years of the outline decision.
