Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the setting of the grade II listed building Esher Place
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 11 Waynflete Tower Avenue, with particular regard to privacy, light, and outlook
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 28 Esher Place Avenue, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
  • whether the proposal should make a financial contribution to affordable housing

What decided it

The very considerable (less than substantial) harm to the significance and setting of the grade II listed Esher Place was not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme.

The heritage benefits and other public benefits (housing delivery, economic benefits) attracting significant weight did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and its setting, to which the Inspector attributed considerable importance and weight, together with conflict with the development plan as a whole.
