Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the front entrance gates preserve or enhance the character or appearance of East Molesey Kent Town Conservation Area, whether they preserve the setting of a nearby listed building and whether they preserve the significance of each of these heritage assets

What decided it

The solid design of the gates erodes the spacious character and appearance of the conservation area and appreciably erodes the aesthetic value that the site makes to the residential setting of the listed building, causing less than substantial harm to heritage assets that is not outweighed by any public benefits.
