Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Effect of the development on amenity, including whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Surbiton Town Centre Conservation Area
  • Public safety with particular regard to the safe movement of pedestrians
  • Whether the proposed development has been suitably designed to minimise energy consumption
  • Effect of the development on the risk of crime

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits offered, particularly given the failure to demonstrate minimised energy consumption.
