Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the High Street and Cedar Road street scenes
- The effect on heritage assets, namely the setting of No 40 (The Teddington Arms), a Locally Listed Building/Building of Townscape Merit, and the High Street Teddington Conservation Area
What decided it
The harmful effect of both proposals' scale, form and design on the character and appearance of the High Street and Cedar Road street scenes.
The acknowledged benefits of housing delivery, town centre vitality and employment were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the street scenes and the small harm to the setting of the non-designated heritage asset, leading to overall conflict with the development plan as a whole.
