Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed extension would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ewell Village Conservation Area

What decided it

The intrusive and incongruous visual impact of the extension on the conservation area outweighed the economic and social benefits of extending the café's capacity.

The benefits of supporting economic growth and activity by extending Milroys Café did not outweigh the less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area from the intrusive and incongruous development proposed.
