Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Tadworth Conservation Area
What decided it
The complex roof design and excessive eaves height would dominate the adjacent Station Building and disrupt the Conservation Area's symmetry, causing less than substantial harm to a designated heritage asset with no offsetting public benefits.
