- Inspector
- Tivey C
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Guildford Town Centre Conservation Area and whether the setting of nearby Listed Buildings would be preserved
- The effect of the proposal on visual amenity, including the Guildford Town Centre Conservation Area and the setting of nearby Listed Buildings
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of designated heritage assets through its incongruous appearance and failure to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, which harm was not outweighed by the limited public benefits offered.
